Common Milkweed is an ideal host plant for monarch butterflies, providing food and shelter for the species. It is easy to grow and can thrive in most gardens, making it a popular choice for both wildlife enthusiasts and gardeners alike.
Its clusters of fragrant, tubular flowers provide essential nectar sources to butterflies and other pollinators. Being rich in sap and latex, it is also a great source of nutrition for monarch caterpillars.
These seed bombs only contain Common Milkweed seeds, Asclepias syriaca, working with localized farmers across Canada to bring you milkweed grown, so that we can all dedicate our efforts nationally.
Great for planting in the Fall, or moist cold stratified for Spring planting. Grows well in full sun. Well suited for poor soils.
