Common Milkweed - Also known as butterfly flower, silkweed, silky swallow-wort, and Virginia silkweed, Asclepias syriaca is the perennial wildflower most people know as milkweed. It has a native range over the United States and Canada east of the Rockies. It grows 24-40” tall and has broad leaves and clusters of small pink star-shaped flowers.
Attract Monarchs - Milkweed is vital to monarch butterfly and caterpillar as food, a place to live, lay eggs, and navigate by. Bee, hummingbird, and other wild pollinator species also will visit this plant. Help with insect conservation by adding milkweeds to your wildflower mix.
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.
