Asclepias Curassavica - Tropical Milkweed – is a perennial that blooms from spring to fall. This flower is a fast-growing, vibrant evergreen with clusters of red, orange, and yellow flowers on upright stems. This flower is highly fragrant! It needs full sun and can grow up to 3 feet tall. This plant is dry and wet soil tolerant. They are nectar-rich, which attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to the garden. But, the MONARCH butterflies LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these plants!! So if you want your gardens flourishing with caterpillars that will later develop into beautiful monarchs, you need to grow some Milkweed in your gardens! It really is a very rewarding process growing these plants from seed, seeing them sprout/grow into flowers, and then having the monarchs lay their eggs on the plants, the eggs turn into caterpillars, and then the caterpillars turn into monarch butterflies. They are also deer and rabbit resistant. They are good for beds, borders, patios, and containers. They are native to Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Some nice features of this plant are that they are easy to grow and low maintenance. Don’t miss out on this flower seed find, they will bring blooms that will not only get the pollinators to come around, but they will add a nice splash of color to the garden!

SEED GERMINATION TIP!  
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.  
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL, SO YOU CAN HAVE SOME LEFT OVER IN CASE YOU ARE UNSUCCESSFUL, THEN YOU WILL STILL HAVE SOME TO TRY AGAIN!  
Good Luck and Happy Planting!
