Asclepias Seeds

The Asclepias genus, commonly known as Milkweed, is a striking member of the Apocynaceae family. Renowned for its clusters of vibrant, star-shaped flowers in shades of orange, pink, red, and white, Asclepias is not only visually stunning but also ecologically significant. These perennials are vital for supporting pollinators, particularly monarch butterflies, which rely on Milkweed as a host plant for their larvae.

Native to North America, Asclepias thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soils, making it ideal for meadows, borders, and wildlife gardens. Species such as Asclepias tuberosa, or Butterfly Weed, are particularly popular for their bright orange blooms and drought tolerance, while Asclepias syriaca, or Common Milkweed, is valued for its role in native habitats.

The Asclepias genus offers a perfect combination of beauty, resilience, and environmental importance, making it an excellent choice for gardeners looking to attract pollinators and support biodiversity in their landscapes.
