Absolutely one of my favorite wildflowers in SW Oklahoma. We are in the direct path of the monarch butterfly migration. Our trees will be covered with them when they migrate. It's simply amazing to see! As they come to rest in the trees the other butterflies start fluttering so they don't land on them.

Michelle - I would love some seeds.  We were able to get some butterflies for the K to watch grow and turn into butterflies (almost ready) ... but it we had more plants they love that would help.

Hi! We would LOVE the milkweed seeds for our rain garden. We had some uninformed volunteers tear a bunch of ours out a year ago and only some survived. Thank you.

Hi Michelle!  We would love to have the seeds here in Northwestern NJ!
We have seen a decline in our butterfly and larva population this year due to how the summer drought affected our milkweed plants.
These seeds will be added to our pollinator garden space where we witness the life cycle of the Monarch each year.
Thanks!

If there are still some available, we would appreciate having them.  From your description, it sounds like we are out of the native region, but our state extension office says that Common Milkweed is native to our area.  Thank you!

Awesome! We're so excited! We have 10 massive pots that we had milkweed growing in that sadly passed away this past summer due to some miscommunication with our summer school teachers. We had our Monarch Butterflies last year on their journey south and the students LOVE it! Thank you for your generosity and seeds! We were hoping to harvest seeds this year from our established plants, but that can wait till next year! We appreciate you!

Hi Jocelyn,

A. syriaca is NOT native to Oregon, so PLEASE raise it in pots and cut off the seed pods. It can be very invasive.
