Calotropis gigantea Giant purple milkweed 10 seeds easy to grow monarch Big Leaf. The seeds are very easy to grow. Plant them 1/8 inch deep water every day with the seeds placed in full sun. Once the seeds pop up, water every other day. This plant can easily be cut back without harming it. The monarch butterflies lay eggs on this and eat the leaves. The leaves are very big which supplies the caterpillars with tons of food. Very important please read!!! eBay puts that it’s gonna take one to three days for delivery. This is not true. Your seeds will be sent in an eBay standard envelope. This does include tracking. But the post office is absolutely horrible with scanning in the package. And with any updates. So basically, the tracking is worthless. Your seeds will most likely take anywhere between five and 11 business days. To get to your destination. If you have any issue with the time of delivery of the seeds. Please do not purchase them. Because it will take most likely 5 to 11 business days for you to receive the seeds. Thank you so much. Thanks again and happy growing 🌼🙂

Orange (Asclepias tuberosa), Swamp (Asclepias incarnata), Common (Asclepias syriaca), Showy (Asclepias speciosa). Fall Planting is great. Seeds will cold stratify naturally through the winter. If planting in Spring, cold stratify your seeds in the refrigerator first. Plant seeds 1/4-1/2 inch apart, and then cover them with about 1/4 inch of additional soil. Water the area frequently after planting until plants become established. Detailed Instructions below. Also we recommend watching YouTube videos! Long blooming perennial pollinator attractor Heirloom variety with long lasting, white summer blooms Thrives in bright, sunny growing areas Monarch populations have been in decline for a number of years, and the loss of nectar sources and milkweeds has been indicated as a major contributor to these declines. This mixture is composed of native wildflowers, garden flowers and milkweeds which supply nectar sources for adult monarchs. Milkweeds are utilized for egg-laying and provide food to monarch caterpillars. Crisp blooms atop lush foliage are a sight to behold all on their own, but once they begin to attract bright and beautiful butterflies to your yard, we’re sure that Milkweed will become an instant favorite! A long blooming perennial, it takes some time to establish Asclepias from seed, but the effort is well worth the reward FAST FACTS Name: Butterfly Milkweed Mix – Seed Life Cycle: Perennial Light Requirement: Full Sun Planting Season: Spring, Fall Plant Type: North American Native, Tuberous-Rooted Herbaceous Perennial, Clusters of Bright Flowers Atop Upright Hairy Stems, Lanceolate Leaf Shape Features: Heirloom, Attracts Pollinators, Attracts Hummingbirds, Container Garden, Cut Flower Garden, Good for Dried Flowers, Deer Resistant, Rabbit Resistant, Fragrant, Poor Soil Tolerant, Drought Tolerant Color: Orange, Pink Blooms: Summer, Late Summer, Early Fall, Fall Days to Maturity: 90-120 Days Plant Height: 28 inches Plant Spacing: 15-18 inches Planting Depth: 1/8 inch Sowing Method: Start Indoors, Direct Sow Cold Stratification: Yes Hardiness Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 Ships: Year Round GROWING & Cold Stratifying MILKWEEDUnderstanding Milkweed (Asclepias) Seed & Germinating (There are many videos on YouTube teaching this)Germination: To start Milkweed seed we recommend starting inside, but before this happens Milkweed seeds need to go through a cold stratification period. Cold stratification is very important for the germination and growth of Milkweed. It helps break the seeds natural dormancy cycle. To do this, we recommend placing Milkweed seed in a damp paper towel or damp sand in a zip lock bag and place in your fridge for 3 – 6 weeks (30 days). Place in an area of the fridge, where it won’t get damaged. We taped ours to the bottom of a refrigerator shelf.Growing IndoorsPlanting In Spring: Once the 30 days are complete, it’s time to plant the cold stratified Milkweed (asclepias) seeds. We recommend planting in 2-4” peat pots. Fill peat pots ¾ of the way with seed starting potting soil and gently add water. Water should be able to drain through the peat pots. Once the soil is damp, place 1-2 cold stratified seeds into each pot. To finish, place 1/4 inch of soil on top of the seed.Planting In Fall: If you’re planting Milkweed seed in the fall, let nature do the cold stratification for you! There is no need to place your seeds in the refrigerator before planting, you can plant seeds directly into the soil after there have been a few frosts in your area. This allows for the seeds to remain dormant for the winter and come up in the early spring. Clear away any existing growth and using your index finger to measure, create 1.5″ holes for each Milkweed seed. We recommend spacing seeds about 4-6” apart. Place a seed in each hole and cover. Water thoroughly.Watering: Gently water the planted seed to give additional hydration. The best way to water is from the bottom up. Use a flat pan under the peat pots and add a half inch of water to the bottom of the tray. Don’t over water as it can cause fungus. Water every day or every other day as needed, the best way to test the soil dampness is to touch it. If the soil seems dry then add water; if it’s wet, wait for the soil to dry out to water.Light Requirements: For the next few weeks, make sure the Milkweed is either in a sunny window, in a green house or under a grow light. Milkweed needs lots of sun and warmth to grow. If you’re using a grow light, make sure to lower the bulb closer to the pots or your seedlings may become leggy, as they stretch to the light. In our experiment, this happened to us. Ideally a sturdier stem is better. Cold stratified seeds should germinate and sprout within 10-15 days once planted. In total Milkweed from the day they are cold stratified to growth can take 40 plus days, so be patient!Other planting options: Place dry seed (not stratified) in seed starting soil and plant in peat pots under a grow light or in a greenhouse to germinate seeds. The success rate for this is low and more difficult to accomplish. If you choose to use this option it can take months for the seeds to germinate.If you are planting seed outside, we suggest seeding in late fall, and let the Milkweed seed lay on the ground through winter. Milkweed seed will have a long winter of dormancy, so once the sun comes out and the ground warms in the spring, the seeds will germinate on their own.SEED STORING Store your seeds in a cool, dry and dark location. Most seeds have a long shelf life, but heat and moisture will cut that life short. Dedicate a drawer or cabinet to storing your seeds where you can also house your gardening journal close at hand for dreaming, planning and preparing. WE SHIP FAST & FREE!

Everyone can help the Monarch Butterfly – from a eco-minded large-scale crop farmer, to a pesticide free organic farmer, to teachers with classroom gardening projects, to a container gardener, to a gardening enthusiast. Thanks for your support!Amy and Jeff www.milkweedmonarchy.comPA Department of Agriculture Seed License ID: 007FJY More DetailsFour strings are included in the pollinator seed plot string kit. Shown below is a single string.Pollinator Seed Plot StringThe pollinator seed plot strings simplify planting because the clay-encased seeds are spaced at the recommended planting interval of 18”. Each clay cluster contains 10-12 seeds which will ensure multiple seed germination per interval since typical germination rate is about 80%. Nine clusters fit on a 12-foot string. Pollinator Seed Plot String The clay cluster protects the seeds from critters during germination.Clay Cluster Containing Milkweed SeedsThe 12-foot string offers many options for the size of your milkweed plot. With the four-string kit, there are multiple possibilities of plot dimensions to fit your available Milkweed plot location. Suggested Milkweed Plot Layout OptionsPlanting and Plant CareThe ideal time to plant milkweed seeds is the winter or spring time, so cold and wet conditions will stimulate germination (known as cold stratification). If planting in late spring, placing the clusters in the refrigerator in a wet paper towel for a week will improve germination. The planting directions are simple:1. Choose fast-draining soil. Most sunny locations will work. Along houses and fence lines are ideal since they are out of the way of mowing.. 2. Dig small holes at 18 inch intervals. (no need to dig up entire plot – the Milkweed plant will eventually grow faster than grass and most weeds) 3. Water regularly until seeds germinate. After plants begin growing, further watering is necessary only in the driest conditions. PLAYCommon Milkweed RangePlease see green areas for the range of the Common Milkweed variety. If you are not in a green state, consult www.plantmilkweed.org for the milkweed variety native to your state. Other varieties will be offer for sale at our website: www.milkweedmonarchy.comCommon Milkweed RangePlant CareWhat’s cool about the milkweed plant is that it requires minimal care. Once the roots are developed, milkweed will come back year after year. Flowers and pods develop normally after the first year. It is easy to control simply by mowing around the boarder of your plot. Established Milkweed PlotButterfly/Caterpillar Food and SeedsOnce your plot is established, flowers will blossom in early summer and will attract the Monarch Butterfly and other pollinator insects such as the honey bee. Soon you will discover tiny yellow and black caterpillars that will quickly grow by eating the Milkweed leaves. In a couple of weeks, the Monarch chrysalis will form. About ten days later, the Monarch Butterfly will emerge, find a mate and eggs will be laid on the Milkweed to start a new generation. Later in the summer, pods will form on the Milkweed plant and the leaves will no longer regenerate. Monarch Butterfly on Milkweed Plant Monarch Caterpillar Feeding on Milkweed PlantAround the first frost, the milkweed pods will begin to split and release the seeds that float in the air on strands of floss. We recommend that the pods be collected before seeds are released, so unwanted milkweed plant propagation will not occur. Most farmers to not want the milkweed plant growing in their fields. Please be considerate of your neighbors! The seeds can be separated from the pods by shaking the seeds and floss in a bag. The seeds then can be planted or donated to organizations such as Monarch Watch. This organization accepts donated seeds and uses them in their milkweed restoration project. The milkweed floss has excellent insulation properties and can be used to stuff pillows. The empty pods are popular with crafters for making wreaths and other items.Milkweed Pods Poofing – Time to Collect the PodsMonarch MigrationIn the fall, the final generation of the Monarch Butterfly migrates each year to Mexico from the northern parts of the U.S. and Canada. Monarch Butterfly Fall MigrationDuring the migration monarch butterfly depends on pollinator plants, like Milkweed, for food. Three to four generations are required to complete the northern return trip in the spring. The butterflies breed and lay eggs only on milkweed plants on the way back north. Monarch Butterfly Spring MigrationThe eggs hatch into caterpillars and one month later, they turn into butterflies and continue their migration north.Decline of Milkweed through PesticidesThe increased use of “Round Up” ready crops has decimated the milkweed plant along with the Monarch butterfly – 90% reduction over the last 20 years. Farmers spray their fields with weed killer which kills all plants, then grow genetically engineered crops that are resistant to the weed killer. 90% Drop In Monarch Butterfly PopulationCrop yield is increased, but at the expense of the health of the environment. The chemical in most weed killer, glycophosphate, is carcinogenic and we really shouldn’t be using it at all. ConclusionWe hope you consider purchasing these pollinator seed plot strings to help the Monarch Butterfly. Thanks for your help!
