Asclepias Incarnata. Swamp milkweed is vital to the survival of the monarch butterfly. This showy, 2-4 ft perennial grow clumps of small mauve flowers filled with butterfly feeding nectar. This variety grows easily from seed and isn't invasive like some other varieties.
Zones 4-8
Came up nicely
Best seeds and best gardening youtube channel, especially if you live in Mid West.
These germinated great and were all off to a good start, but they ended up getting potted up into too heavy of dirt and became stressed and got killed off by spider mites shortly after. Will be trying to grow again but will be taking better care of them while young.
Asclepias (Milkweeds) are very important to me, and especially this species! I often get my milkweed seeds from different companies, for a few reasons, but I noticed that my Swamp Milkweed seeds from a different well-known company were significantly smaller, and overall pretty scraggly-looking, compare those to these?- complete 180! These are massive, healthy looking seeds!
These germinated in no time and are thriving very well
Germanated quickly on a heat mat. Off the mat and growing ready to transplant early/mid april. Excited for leeks this autumn
Last year I bought seeds from my local store and I didnt get anything to germinate. This year I purchased all my seeds from MIGardener and I've had to give seedlings away cause nearly all the seeds sprouted!!!
Great germination! I'm excited to see how the onions turn out
My only complaint is that I was not prepared for how well and fast all of the seeds would grow soI had to pot up earlier than expected! I am very happy with all of the seeds I have purchased from here!
I think I got near perfect germination on these. Cauliflower has always been challenging for me to time it out and know when to harvest. I've been learning that crops that have purple or reds in them (looking at my red lettuce varieties and purple sprouting broccoli) seem to bolt less quickly than their green counterparts in heat.
