About This

• NATIVE SWAMP MILKWEED SEEDS: HOME GROWN Swamp Milkweed Seeds (Asclepias incarnata) grow into tall native perennials with rounded clusters of rosy, soft pink, and mauve flowers. Also known as Swamp Rose Milkweed, plants bloom from summer into fall across USDA Zones 3–9.
• IMPORTANT MONARCH HOST PLANT: Swamp Milkweed provides essential host foliage for monarch butterfly caterpillars while its flowers attract adult monarchs, honey bees, native bees, and other beneficial pollinators. An excellent choice for monarch habitats and pollinator gardens.
• MADE FOR MOIST GARDEN AREAS: Unlike Common Milkweed, Swamp Milkweed performs particularly well in consistently moist soil and tolerates wet conditions. Grow these native flower seeds in rain gardens, bioswales, wet meadows, pond edges, and low-lying garden areas.
• COLD STRATIFICATION FOR GERMINATION: Cold stratify milkweed seeds for approximately 30 days before spring planting or direct sow outdoors in late fall for natural winter stratification. After stratification, germination typically occurs within 14–30 days at 65–75°F.
• PERENNIAL FLOWERS FOR ZONES 3–9: This cold-hardy perennial returns in suitable growing conditions and produces flowers from summer through fall. Grow in full sun to partial shade with moist, fertile soil and adequate moisture throughout establishment.
• TALL NATIVE FLOWERS FOR LANDSCAPES: Mature Swamp Milkweed plants reach approximately 3–5 feet tall with a 1–2 foot spread, adding height and structure to native plantings, moist borders, wildlife gardens, and naturalized landscapes.
• ROSE TO MAUVE FLOWER CLUSTERS: Rounded umbels approximately 2–3 inches across contain numerous small, star-shaped flowers in rosy, soft pink, and mauve shades, bringing summer color and pollinator activity to wet and moisture-retentive garden spaces.
• IDEAL FOR NATIVE AND RAIN GARDENS: Use Swamp Milkweed in native plant gardens, monarch waystations, pollinator habitats, rain gardens, bioswales, wetland edges, and moist perennial borders where its moisture-loving growth habit provides both ornamental and wildlife value.
• PLANT AND CARE FOR SWAMP MILKWEED: Sow seeds approximately 1/4 inch deep and space plants 1–2 feet apart. Keep soil consistently moist during germination and early growth, and avoid allowing young plants to dry completely while they establish their root systems.
• 500 HEIRLOOM NON-GMO MILKWEED SEEDS: Each medium pack contains approximately 500 heirloom, non-GMO Swamp Milkweed seeds (Asclepias incarnata) weighing 2.2g, providing a generous quantity for monarch habitats, pollinator gardens, rain gardens, and native perennial plantings.
