• Three Valuable Milkweeds - Beautiful milkweed is an important North American flower that has lost a lot of habitat recently. Do your part to improve your local ecosystems by planting this mix of Common Milkweed, Butterfly Milkweed, and Rose Milkweed.
• Support Monarch Butterflies - These gorgeous orange and black butterflies are entirely dependent on milkweed as a nursery plant for their eggs and the caterpillar and chyrsalis stages of life. Milkweed is the only food a monarch caterpillar will eat, so milkweed is a foundational plant for the survival of this keystone species.
• Cold Stratify for Better Germination - For best results, recreate winter conditions to prime the seeds for planting. For indoor seed starting, sprinkle seeds into a damp paper towel, roll up, and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks, then sow as usual. Stratification encourages seeds to sprout, giving you more young seedlings to become healthy plants.

Butterfly Milkweed is a bushy perennial about 12-18" tall with orange flowers. It is an essential plant for monarch butterflies, providing both food and larval habitat. Multiple plantings are best for attracting butterflies.

Common Milkweed is a perennial herb that grows 24-40” tall. It has broad leaves and clusters of pink star-shaped flowers. The monarch butterfly relies on this plant as a nursery for its eggs and caterpillars.

Rose Milkweed, also know as Swamp Milkweed, is a perennial herb that grows 24-40” tall. It has smooth narrow leaves and clusters of dusty rose, star-shaped flowers. The monarch butterfly and other pollinators rely on this flower.
