Native Perennial. As you know, Monarch butterflies lay their eggs on ONE type of plant-milkweed. This means that milkweed is the sole source of food for monarch caterpillars. This common milkweed is native to this area and the large flowers are so beautiful-they range in color from almost white to pink to lavender. Full sun-partial shade. Pro-tip: Keep this one out of your tidy veggie garden and let it grow freely elsewhere. *** Most of the new native perennials will say "We have run out of stock for this item or it is out of season" for now, so we don't overpromise. If you would like to purchase one of our native varieties that says this, we urge you to click the "Notify Me when Available" button to get a notification emailed to you when we know we have some available for purchase. This is because native plants have different growth habits than the other plants we start under grow lights. In fact, most of them need a long cold period in the soil before germinating in the spring or summer, or even a year after being sown. Therefore, it is a bit more challenging to predict when and how many will be ready for pick up in the spring. Click HERE for more info on our native perennials
