Reviewed by

Why purchase our seed? Monarch Milkweed Seeds supplies Common Milkweed seed (Asclepias Syriaca) that has been sustainably wild-harvested and is both organic and non-gmo. The fields that we harvest from have never been contaminated by pollution such as herbicides, insecticides or any chemical fumigates/sprays. We take pride in being able to supply our seeds at the lowest on the market, so that everyone can afford to grow plenty of Milkweed for the Monarchs! We have supplied Milkweed seeds all throughout North America since 2015. Our passion is rooted in holistic land management, regenerative agriculture, permaculture and organic farming. We very much appreciate and honor the role that the Monarch butterfly plays in our ecosystem, as pollinators and as a species and you should too! We continue to receive support from all over the country; ranging from nature parks to conservationist projects, school and educational programs, and obviously the home gardeners. Our common Milkweed will help you attract not just Monarchs but also other pollinators such as bumblebees, honeybees and other butterfly species and insects that are beneficial to your garden or eco-landscape! Supporting us means we can continue to supply North America with seed for the Monarchs! monarch butterflies & common milkweed are symbiotic in nature: Did you know milkweed is the only plant the Monarch Butterfly is able to lay eggs on? This is because milkweed is the only plant the hatched caterpillars will eat until they emerge as a Monarch! Its amazing when you think this species of butterfly can only survive if milkweed plants exist. The Monarch also uses milkweed as a source of nectar during their long migration travels. Did you know there are two different migration patterns the Monarch Butterfly uses? Western Monarchs migrate along the west coast from Mexico through California and surrounding states. The Eastern Monarchs migrate from Mexico all throughout the East and continental states. Monarchs migrate because they cannot survive in freezing weather in the northern and central continental climates during the winter. In those areas, milkweed will go dormant, meaning there is no vegetation for the larval to feed on. In the spring, the next generation must fly back to the places where the plants are plentiful to continue their life cycles. Did you know the Monarch Butterfly population has declined over 80% in the last 20 years, primarily due to human activity?
