Milkweed gets a bad rap because of its name but it is actually a beautiful flower that smells amazing. Besides its natural beauty and monarch food source, it also brings pollinators and works as a banker plant for other beneficials. Because aphids tend to love this plant it keeps ladybugs around which benefit other parts of the garden. Planting these seeds you will benefit mother nature by helping to bring back these beautiful monarch butterflies that are now endangered. What you get: 500+ properly hulled seeds that have been pre-screened for pests, mold and other diseases. Seeds have been hulled and properly dried so you can spread them right away or wait until early spring. Give these seeds a try and help save an endangered species. Shipping It is imperative you are able to rate this transaction. Seeds are shipped via first class mail. I want my customers to be 100% satisfied and will do what it takes to make it right if it isn't. Thanks for the support.
