It’s officially summer and that means….Milkweed!!!

We have:

🦋 Butterflyweed (A. tuberosa). Our own seed-grown plants now available in 3” pots (larger sizes coming soon—stay tuned!)
🦋 Common milkweed (A. syriaca). Our own seed-grown plants now available in 4” pots (2 to 3 plants per pot—nice, vigorous starter plants!)
🦋 Swamp milkweed (A. incarnata). Our own seed-grown plants available in both 1 gallon (1 plant per pot) and 1.5 gallon pots (2-3 plants per pot—big and juicy plants the monarchs will love!)
🦋 A white form of swamp milkweed called ‘Ice Ballet’ (A. incarnata ‘Ice Ballet’) – 1 gallon pots; nice looking, vigorous plants!

All serve as larval hosts for the monarch butterfly! And all hold value for many pollinators including native bees, butterflies, and more.
