FREE Milkweed Plant Seeds
Be a part of the solution to create beautiful Monarch butterfly sanctuary gardens.
PCWD is proud to be a supporter, grower, and protector of the Monarch Butterfly society. As such, we have purchased milkweed seeds (common variety Ascelepias syriaca) and are happy to distribute them to our customers while supplies last.
These milkweed seeds are the key to our monarch’s survival and will grow almost anywhere. If you have availability to plant these 8-12″ apart in 1/2″ of moist light soil in a sunny, well drained spot, come on in to get your seeds!
Milkweed takes 3-4 weeks to germinate and 60 days until it’s full grown. Plant as many seeds as you can: one caterpillar will eat 20-25 leaves!
Here’s a great article from Garden Design all about growing milkweed for Monarchs: https://www.gardendesign.com/plants/milkweed.html.
Thank you for helping save our endangered butterflies…
… one milkweed at a time.
