50 Butterfly Milkweed Seeds (Asclepias Tuberosa) for 2023 – Free Shipping

Description

Johnny says, “Plant more Milkweed!” because…

• Monarch Butterflies require Milkweed plants to lay eggs
• Monarch Caterpillars requires Milkweed leaves to eat
• The milky latex in Milkweed is toxic and protects the Monarch Caterpillars from being eaten
  

Your seed packet will contain well over 50 seeds, measured as 250-260 milligrams, of “Butterfly Milkweed” (Asclepias tuberosa) seeds, packaged in a kraft paper envelope.

Butterfly Milkweed produce unique, orange flowers that provide nectar for many pollinators, along with Monarch Butterflies.

Johnny recommends “overseeding” your Milkweed garden throughout the year.
