OTHER:  In addition to being beautiful, Milkweed is a very important plant because it is a host for the beloved MONARCH butterfly. Monarch larva feed exclusively on Milkweeds. That means if there is no Milkweed, there would be no Monarchs :( It is also an important nectar plant for bees & other insects. The common name Milkweed was given to this plant because of its milky juice. The scientific name comes from Asclepius, the Greek god of healing, because of the many folk-medicinal uses for the milkweed plants. The dried seed pods are also very interesting for dried arrangements. Swamp Milkweed will enjoy wetlands or the average garden setting.

 

* We have 7 different types & colors of Milkweed seeds available. Plant several types together for a beautiful look and help save the Monarchs!
