Three Valuable Milkweeds - Beautiful milkweed is an important North American flower that has lost a lot of habitat recently. Do your part to improve your local ecosystems by planting this mix of Common Milkweed, Butterfly Milkweed, and Rose Milkweed.
Butterfly Milkweed
Butterfly Milkweed is a bushy perennial about 12-18" tall with orange flowers. It is an essential plant for monarch butterflies, providing both food and larval habitat. Multiple plantings are best for attracting butterflies.
Common Milkweed
Common Milkweedis a perennial herb that grows 24-40” tall. It has broad leaves and clusters of pink star-shaped flowers. The monarch butterfly relies on this plant as a nursery for its eggs and caterpillars.
Rose Milkweed
Rose Milkweed, also know as Swamp Milkweed, is a perennial herb that grows 24-40” tall. It has smooth narrow leaves and clusters of dusty rose, star-shaped flowers. The monarch butterfly and other pollinators rely on this flower.
Cold Stratify for Better Germination
For best results, recreate winter conditions to prime the seeds for planting. For indoor seed starting, sprinkle seeds into a damp paper towel, roll up, and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks, then sow as usual. Stratification encourages seeds to sprout, giving you more young seedlings to become healthy plants.
These gorgeous orange and black butterflies are entirely dependent on milkweed as a nursery plant for their eggs and the caterpillar and chrysalis stages of life. Milkweed is the only food a monarch caterpillar will eat, so milkweed is a foundational plant for the survival of this keystone species.
The Monarch Butterfly was declared an endangered species in 2022
Native population of Monarchs has shrunk by more than 80% over the last decade
Monarchs migrate thousands of miles annually and depend on milkweed as a food source and habitat along the way
Three-quarters of the world's flowering plants and about 35 percent of the world's food crops depend on pollinators to reproduce.
One in 3 bites of food you eat requires the assistance of pollinators
Pollinators have lost necessary habitat due to herbicide use
Milkweed is a native perennial that will come back year after year to support pollinators in your garden.

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques.
You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.
The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
No, we do not pre-treat our farmer seeds. All of our garden seeds for sale are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.
The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.
Our seeds will generally last for 3-10 years if they are appropriately stored in a cool, dry place. However, we encourage you to grow your survival seeds within a year or two of purchase. This yields the best germination rates possible and also gives you more experience growing survival food now. At the end of the growing season, follow the instructions on the back of each packet for saving seeds for future gardens. These new seeds for survival will be more adapted to thrive in the growing conditions where you are.
