    Details

    Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) is a robust, easy-to-grow perennial that plays a vital role in the monarch butterfly lifecycle. This 32-plant pack provides an effortless way to create a pollinator haven, as its dense clusters of fragrant pink flowers attract not just monarchs but a diverse array of bees and butterflies.

    After blooming, large spindle-shaped seed pods develop, adding visual interest and providing fluffy seeds that float on the wind. Thriving in full sun and a variety of soils, Common Milkweed spreads readily, making it ideal for meadows, roadside plantings, and naturalized areas where it can establish a strong presence.

    Why Choose a Tray of Butterfly Weed?

    • Essential for monarchs – A primary host plant for caterpillars.
    • Highly attractive to pollinators – Supports bees, butterflies & beneficial insects.
    • Low-maintenance & hardy – Thrives in tough conditions and spreads naturally.

    Plant Common Milkweed in a sunny spot and enjoy seasons of beauty, fragrance, and pollinator activity while contributing to monarch conservation!
