Asclepias tuberosa. Though most monarch butterflies prefer other milkweed varieties (like swamp milkweed), this variety will attract many different kinds of butterflies and pollinators. Butterflies love this variety, as the nectar is the perfect food for them. Plant these to attract beneficial insects into the garden and stun the eye with deep red crimson clusters of flowers. Long-lived and hardy perennial.
Zones 4-8
Just an amazing product and good quality
I'm giving the butterflies more variety this year. They like the lantana and will be thrilled with this.
Always a welcomed flower in our garden!
Sprinkled these in my garden last week and already see some shoots popping out
I winter-sowed these in early March in plastic bottles outside. They germinated/grew easily once spring arrived and were repotted into a bigger pot. Did really well for a couple of months, until I probably forgot to water them for a few days. Alas, butterflies could not get much nectar from brown sticks. I planted them all in the ground in fall, hoping the roots somehow survived below the brown sticks.
Do the opposite of what I did, and you will have great success.
(I thought butterfly weed seeds need cold stratification, which is why I winter sowed them.)

I grew this in a straw bale garden in 2025 and really enjoyed it. It grew amazingly well and was beautiful, so I purchased more for 2026. Michigan zone 6b.
I have grown these for the last few years and they are hands down my favorite. I like romas and firm tomatoes. These remind me of mini romas. These are less prone to splitting, super easy to harvest and has a super great flavor and very meaty. YUM!
The cloves are large, full and heavy. Of the two cloves I kept (shared 2 with my daughter), 12 were large enough to plant, 1 will be consumed.
Received 9 or 10 large, nice quality cloves of elephant garlic. Packaged nicely. Planted them right up and looking forward to seeing what sprouts next season.
Sicilian was by far the best clove Size and quality
