Milkweed Seeds

Plant Milkweed Seeds: Full sun. Asclepias incarnata (Milkmaid and Soulmate) thrive in moist, even wet soils, will adapt to average garden water. Asclepias tuberosa (Orange and Gay Butterflies) and Asclepias speciosa (Showy Milkweed) tolerate heat and drought, need only occasional water once established, will happily accept average moisture with good drainage.

Grow Milkweed: Milkweeds attract bees and hummingbirds, are important nectar sources for a wide range of pollinators and provide essential nourishment for monarch butterfly larva. Plants are deer and rabbit resistant.
