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.
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 pepper plant in a 20 gallon pot and it did very well. It produced dozens of small peppers that were spicy—hotter than your standard jalapeno. I put about 3 of these in my salsa to spice it up along with 5-7 whole jalapeños (I roast them which takes out a portion of the yea). This little plant produced so many peppers that I froze a gallon bag of them to use in recipes throughout the year.
I am loving this squash! It grows so long and has beautiful leaves. I grow it upward and loves it! I have harvested at least 3-4 on one plant already. The remainder of the blooms are male, and I am not sure if I will have any more. :( I have, however, planted more in the mean time hoping I will harvest as many as this one. I will definately grow more!. Thank you!
All is well and great service...
So far, everything we have purchased has had an almost 100% germination rate. And what sprouts has grown quickly and strongly. We are now big fans of MIgardener seeds!
I’ve had issues trying to germinate seeds bought from big box stores. Come to find out they are old and a waste of money. MI Gardener seeds are fresh, germinate quickly and stay good for years. My Pablo lettuce is still growing and I look forward to harvesting and eating it!
