500 COMMON MILKWEED SEEDS [ACLEPIAS SYRIACA] NATIVE MONARCH BUTTERFLY FLOWER USA

Description: Untitled DocumentStoreFeedbackFollow UsCommon Milkweedis an extremely important and unique plant. The Monarch Butterfly will only lay their eggs on Milkweed species. This is because once the eggs hatch, the larva can only eat Milkweed to survive and grow. They cannot feed on any other species of plant. Once they eat enough Milkweed, they chrysalis and then hatch into a Monarch. Monarchs also use Milkweed as a source of nectar to gain the energy needed to migrate annually across the United States. It is a fascinating phenomenon that is worth checking out! As you may know, Monarch Butterfly populations continue to decline. Although due to many reasons, land development and conventional agricultural and pesticide/herbicide among the main reasons for the decline of the milkweed plant and monarch population. We can do our part to help by planting the Common Milkweed seeds in our own gardens where it will act as a waystation for resting and nesting Monarchs. You can also grow other flowering plants that will help our pollinators, like Catnip! Common Milkweed spreads through underground rhizomes and returns each year in the cooler climates. Once established it is drought resistant, heat and cold tolerant and will thrive in a wide variety of different soil types. Common Milkweed plants flower late summer and smell like Lilacs.
