Asclepias fascicularis—Narrow-Leaf Milkweed Seeds

Narrow-Leaf Milkweed is food for the larval stage of Monarch butterflies and offers them important habitat. Like other Asclepias, this plant will wander a bit. It has a rhizomatous nature. Unlike Asclepias speciosa this PNW native plant is easier to keep under control, and it’s a bit shorter too. It works well in my urban space..

The patch I have of this plant has been wandering around in the same square 6' for over 10 years now. It's drought tolerant and a lovely shade of pink with white.

Germination instructions are included with your seeds. They will need to be stratified, and this may be a little bit difficult, but with some practice and patience, you should have success. (about 30 seeds)
