Butterfly Weed Seeds 6375. Native of Canada. Perennial.

Approx. 30 seeds/pkt (125 seeds/gram)

Bright, sun-loving plants are filled with brilliant orange flower clusters 10 cm across from June through to September. Mound shaped plants average 60 cm tall. Like its name suggests, this beautiful plant is a favourite of butterflies and other nectar loving insects. Butterfly Milkweed is a native Ontario perennial wildflower that is very heat and drought tolerant and an excellent choice for the low maintenance garden. Hardy to Zone 3. For many native and perennial plants, late fall is the best time to sow seed directly outside. Why you ask? Simply put, many of these plants produce seed that is viable but dormant. This means allowing seeds to naturally stratify over winter will “wake up” the dormant seed for best results.
