Key Attributes
About Native Milkweed Mix, Milkweed Seed
Our Milkweed Mix brings together three North American native perennials: Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa) and Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca). Hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, this blend adds pink, mauve-pink and bright orange summer flowers to butterfly gardens, sunny borders and meadow plantings. All three species provide host foliage for monarch caterpillars and nectar for visiting pollinators.
Swamp Milkweed: Rose-pink flower clusters on upright plants, typically 3-5 feet tall; prefers consistently moist soil.
Butterfly Weed (tuberosa): Bright orange blooms on compact plants, typically 1-3 feet tall; prefers well-drained soil and tolerates drier conditions once established.
Common Milkweed: Fragrant, rounded mauve-pink flower clusters, typically 2-5 feet tall; spreads by underground rhizomes and needs room to grow.

Tips
Pests & Diseases
Leaf spots, rust, powdery mildew, and root rot may occur. Provide airflow, avoid waterlogged soil, remove badly affected foliage, and clean tools between plants; discard material showing severe disease rather than composting it.
Aphids, milkweed bugs, spider mites, and oleander aphids may gather on stems and pods. Identify monarch eggs and caterpillars before acting, rinse or hand-remove pests when practical, and avoid systemic or broad-spectrum insecticides.
