Annie's Heirloom Seeds Milkweed Mix

Yes, this mix is specifically curated to support monarchs and other essential pollinators. Milkweed is the exclusive host plant for monarch caterpillars, making it a critical addition to any pollinator-friendly garden.

These milkweed varieties reach a mature height of approximately 28 inches. They are well-suited for the middle or back of a garden border where their height can add structure without overwhelming smaller perennials.

Not at all. This mix is designed to be resilient and naturalizes easily, meaning the plants will establish themselves and return year after year with minimal intervention. They are adaptable to both wet and dry soil conditions, making them quite low-maintenance once established.

Yes, the sap of milkweed plants is toxic if ingested and can cause skin irritation for some people. We recommend wearing gloves when handling the plants, especially when pruning or harvesting.

These plants offer natural resistance to deer and rabbits, which typically avoid them due to the toxic sap. This makes them a reliable choice for gardens where wildlife browsing is a common concern.

For the best results, choose a location that receives full sun. While the mix is versatile enough to handle varying moisture levels, consistent sunlight is essential for healthy growth and vibrant blooms.
