Wildflowers - Milkweed Seeds
The Milkweed family is known as Asclepias to botanists. These species have become very popular over the past few years because of their unique trait of being a food source for Monarch Butterflies. Wherever Milkweeds are growing in our fields, somehow the Monarchs find them, and there is hardly a time when the butterflies are not fluttering around them. There is a good bit of variability within this genus, so there will surely be something that will work for your location, whether it is sand or swamp, or something in between. We carry everything from Common Milkweed seeds to Purple Milkweed. The Purple Milkweed is probably the rarest form of Milkweed seed that we have for sale, and the bulk stock that we get from time to time is quickly sold out. Browse our selection of bulk milkweed seeds for sale to find the right seeds to plant in your garden!
