Common Milkweed – Seed Packet

Description

Common Milkweed (Asclepius syriaca) , Native Perennial  – Seed Packet: Each pack contains over 150 native swamp milkweed seeds from upstate NY. Open pollinated and wild collected for diversity, these are one of the most beneficial Monarch Butterfly host/nectar plants in our region.Planting native plants from localized environments provide habitat that pollinators and wildlife identify with providing more exact growing stages and bloom times.Local native plants are more reliable and have adapted to our unique micro climates that our wildlife have come to depend upon.  Recognized for their intense rosy pink blooms and vanilla scent, asclepias incarnata plants are a must for native pollinator areas. They will tolerate some shade but prefer more sun and do not have aggressive rhizome roots.They do well in damp or occasionally submerged areas, and perennial gardens that are maintained with mulch.
