Showy Milkweed

Introducing our Showy Milkweed Seeds – a stunning and essential addition to any pollinator garden. With its tall, stately stems and clusters of fragrant, star-shaped pink and pale lavender flowers, this North American native plant is as beautiful as it is beneficial. Showy Milkweed is a critical host plant for monarch butterflies, providing food for their larvae and nectar for adult butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.

Showy Milkweed is drought-tolerant and thrives in a variety of soil types, making it an excellent choice for wildflower meadows, native plant gardens, and naturalized landscapes. Its unique blooms and silver-green foliage add visual interest while supporting vital ecosystems.

Whether you’re creating a butterfly haven or adding striking blooms to your garden, Showy Milkweed is a resilient and rewarding plant that will return year after year.

Perennial.

Sizing: Plants grow 2-5 feet tall and 1-2 feet wide.

Growing Suggestions: Showy Milkweed thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Sow seeds directly outdoors in late fall for natural stratification or indoors after cold-treating them for 30 days. Transplant seedlings after the last frost. Water moderately, as milkweed is drought-tolerant once established. Avoid pesticides to protect pollinators, and enjoy its natural beauty as it supports wildlife in your garden.
