Milkweed Seed Collection - 6pk

Support of Monarchs and awareness of their unique connection with Milkweed is on the rise since they were added to the Federal Endangered Species list.

Monarch numbers plummeted due to habitat loss and environmental stress, Milkweeds are the ONLY host plants for the Monarch butterfly; the only place they lay their eggs and the sole food source for hungry caterpillars. This iconic butterfly species exhibits one of the most impressive migrations on earth: a multi-generational voyage that spans nearly the entire width of the North American continent. Boost Monarch populations by planting Milkweed in every garden across the country!

The Milkweed Collection includes 6 species, 1 seed packet of each:

• Poke Milkweed (Asclepias exaltata) - 30 seeds
• Rose Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) - 100 seeds
