40 Butterfly Milkweed Seeds Pink Asclepias Syriaca Native for Monarchs

Description: 40 Butterfly Milkweed Seeds Pink Asclepias Syriaca Native Perennial for Monarchs ********** Common Milkweed has pink flowers and grows to four feet tall. It is native to the Midwest and eastern U.S. It prefers full sun and loamy, mesic soil, but it can tolerate a wide variety of conditions. This species can spread aggressively in moister sites and is most appropriate for butterfly habitat gardens, conservation and meadow plantings. Sowing: In late fall, direct sow just below the surface. Germination will take place in the spring, after the last frost. When the seedlings appear, thin to the strongest plant; seedlings usually do not survive transplanting, since they resent any disturbance of their roots. For spring planting, mix the seeds with moist sand and refrigerate for 30 days before direct sowing. Growing: Though this plant can tolerate some dryness, occasional watering may be necessary. The flowers attract bees and butterflies, especially monarch butterflies. Deer avoid this plant. This plant will reseed itself and often spreads extensively in the wild. Harvesting: This makes a striking cut flower. Cut the stems long, choosing flowers that have just opened. Keep in mind that the milky sap is mildly toxic and can irritate the skin. *** ()*** MORE INFO: Name: Butterfly MilkweedScientific Name: Asclepias syriaca Color: PinkHardiness Zones: 4-10 Plant Seeds: Outdoors After Frost / Indoors Weeks Before Last FrostPlant Height: 30"-48"Plant Spacing: 18 - 36"Cycle: PerennialBloom Season - Summer Light Requirements: Full Sun, Partial Shade Soil & Water Preferences: Average Other: Attracts bees, birds, & butterflies, Species Type: Native Classification: Herbaceous Perennial Characteristics: A multi-stemmed flowering species that spreads from underground tubers.
