500 COMMON MILKWEED SEEDS

Asclepias syriaca

Asclepias syriaca, commonly known as Common Milkweed, is a perennial native to North America. It features tall stems with broad, opposite leaves and clusters of pink to purplish flowers. Its unique flowers attract pollinators, especially monarch butterflies. This plant can grow up to 5 feet tall and spread vigorously through rhizomes. It thrives in full sun to light shade and prefers well-draining soil. Common Milkweed is hardy in USDA zones 3-9 and plays a vital role in supporting monarch butterfly populations by providing essential habitat and food for their caterpillars.

Germinating Asclepias syriaca seeds

To germinate Asclepias syriaca (Common Milkweed) seeds, cold stratify them for 4-6 weeks by placing them in a damp paper towel in a plastic bag in the refrigerator. Then, sow the seeds in well-draining soil and lightly cover them. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs. Detailed germination instructions will be included with your order!
