Vibrant Earth Seeds
PRODUCT INFORMATION
Asclepias syriaca
The only food of endangered Monarch Butterfly caterpillars. Showy pink blossoms turn to fluffy seed pods that are fun for kids to spread around. Grows well along ditches, in low-lying and swampy areas. Once established it will perennialize. Tender young pods can be fried for a wildcrafted snack.
Planting Instructions: Wrap seeds in a damp paper towel and refrigerate for 30 days prior to planting in spring, or plant in fall for spring growth.
Seed Saving Instructions: Collect pods when they have split open and dried, revealing the inner fluff. Dry brown seeds and store in a cool, dark and dry place.
Approx 25 seeds/packet
