Rose Milkweed, also known as Swamp Milkweed, is a perennial herb that grows 24-40” tall. It has smooth narrow leaves and clusters of dusty rose to purple star-shaped flowers. This deer and rabbit resistant flower plays a major role in the life of monarch butterflies. It provides pollen, nectar, and habitat for this beautiful orange butterfly, as well as its caterpillars (larvae). If you have a passion for conservation, plant a collection of milkweeds and other wildflowers to help rescue the threatened butterfly population as well as those of other pollinator species like bees and hummingbirds.
- Swamp Milkweed - Also known as rose milkweed, red milkweed, or marsh milkweed, Asclepias incarnata is a perennial wildflower with a native range over most of North America. Its flowers are a beautiful dusky pink color, with small star-shaped blooms growing in clusters. These bushes thrive in wetlands and moist outdoor conditions and will not spread as much as common milkweed.
- Attract Monarchs - Milkweed is vital to monarch butterflies and caterpillars as food, a place to live, lay eggs, and navigate by. Bee, hummingbirds, and other wild pollinator species also will visit this bush. Help with insect conservation by adding milkweeds to your wildflower mix.
- 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.

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.

What is the shelf life of these gardening seeds?
What is the shelf life of these gardening 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.
