Approximate Seed Count: 50Asclepias 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.
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.)
Haven’t planted yet but will here soon.

Very happy with my purchase. I planted 40 seeds and they all germinated! Felt like I ran the lottery. Haven’t had a harvest yet but they are growing well. Already knee high. Very happy with my purchase
This is my second year ordering the bare root strawberry plants, and I will say these are the healthiest plant starts!! I will order again
I loved my Chandler Blueberries. I have had it for a year now. As a beginner blueberry grower, I loved how easily it is to maintain the plant in its healthy state. I live in Zone 7. It lived through its first winter snow, and sprouted back up in Spring, just shows how cold-hardy it can be. It is now slowly blooming. Hopefully in the next few years it will produce me some juicy blueberries!
Not so great raw, but awesome sautéed and in soups! Grows great in warm climate. It takes a while to get started, but once it takes off, it doesn't stop! Very easy for new gardeners ❣️
Once the bare root arrived, I immediately saw a sprout growing from the tip. I was pleasantly surprised it had gone out of dormancy. It is currently growing healthy green foliage outside in part shade and full sun. I see a few grape clusters though unfortunately I have to cut them, so the plant’s roots fully establish.
