Seed Needs Milkweed Seeds for Planting a Butterfly Garden to Attract Monarch Butterflies - Collection of Pink, Orange & White Asclepias Milk Weed Variety Pack (5 Packs)

These seeds were absolutely fantastic. I had over 32 monarch this year loving all the milkweed. I've already checked and this year they are coming back so everything worked out so beautifully I've loved it so much and can't wait to see what this year brings. The white swamp milkweed did Bloom one small little bloom last year but that's not common. Typically it doesn't Bloom until the second or third year.

This set of milkweed seeds was $9.99 when I purchased them in January 2025. I placed the seeds inside a damp paper towel, inside a plastic bag, taped against my refrigerator wall with temperatures around 32-35°F. I let them cold-stratify like this for 2 months. My seeds had an average germination rate of about 50% overall, with certain types being more successful than others. This is my estimation based on visuals: Common pink: 90% Showy: 90% Orange butterfly: 50% White swamp: 40% Common: 1% Pink swamp: 0% While I experimented between small soil-blocking and large soil-blocking, all seeds still experienced the same soil mix/temperatures/watering/lighting. The seeds placed on TOP of the soil seem to have germinated better than those further down in the soil. I contacted customer support through their own website and I received a response within 12 hours with a refund! I was hoping for new seeds instead but this company doesn't do that for Amazon orders. Ultimately, given my 100% refund, I'm very happy with my seedlings. While not all the germination rates were great, and I was originally hoping for ~500 plants, but I do still have about 100~200 seedlings with all of my money back. Since the price increase/sale ended, I've found better prices on milkweed seeds elsewhere (e Bay). But I would still buy from this shop again if the price went back down, because customer service was perfect! Rest assured that even if you have problems with your seeds, customer service will help you. There is no risk. Now I just have to wait and see if the seedlings grow big enough for the Monarchs to enjoy!

Love these delivery was quick and I'm sure the butterflies will be so happy!

Seeds look fine but…suggested planting date is November 🤔. My fault I didn’t check before ordering.

Fast germination rate, quick shipping. I will update with more photos in the future as well I am able. I keep coming back to this brand because the germination rate is good, and the variety and quality of the seeds is great. Very easy to get started in some peat moss or a coco coir mix. Very easy to identify the seeds. I've only planted the white color but I'll get to the others soon enough.

This seed was NOT very productive for us. We tried several times and different methods. We did the refrigerate suggestion, planted in starter pots, planted in the ground. As I said, over the past two months trying several things - we have gotten six decent plants that should make it. I do not think the results were good! We are very disappointed. Hope you have better luck!

Great to attract butterflies

I planted these last year for the caterpillars. The plants did well in my pollinator garden. Caterpillars completely consumed all the foliage, which was the point, but the plants are already coming back this spring. Exactly what I was looking for.
