Milkweed Seeds

Milkweed seeds of four different species, native to most of continental USA and Canada, to attract monarchs and wild pollinators Milkweed is a biodiversity hub that sustains its own ecosystem, including many endangered pollinators.

In addition to growing beautiful and delightfully fragrant flowers in your garden you will contribute, by planting milkweed you will help preserve one of North America's most iconic animal.
