MIX SS-MM1 (MONARCH MILKWEED SEED MIX) is designed for the environmental conditions of the Southern Tier States and for sites with dry to moist soils. Monarch larva can only feed on milkweed plants. A mix of 4 milkweed species that are host plants and food sources for Monarch larva as well as nectar sources for adult Monarchs. Only milkweed species native to the southern region are included. Monarchs require multiple generations over a long growing period to complete their migration cycle and it is critical plant material be available to feed the larva from early spring to late fall. This mix of milkweeds provides a season long source of food for the Monarch larva. Mix SS-MM1 contains the following 4 species of milkweed: Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa), Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), and Whorled Milkweed (Asclepias verticillata).

I have had some issues with some of the seeds that I have purchased and because of that I purchased a lot of these to make sure at least one would grow. To my surprise these seeds have been growing great. Now that the weather in MN is warming up I am able to replant outside in our wildflower garden. Cant wait to watch the butterflies and other insects enjoy the milkweed. I would recommend these to everyone.

I planted the seeds and so far one has come up. I am hoping for more in the future. I don't know if Monarch butterflies come down this far, but I want to be ready when and if they show up.

Not sure if they were too old.
They never sprouted. Even tried inside, soaked in paper towels, nothing. Duds

A dud, sadly
Not one germinated

would prefer a milkweed cutting
Slow to germinate, germination rate is less than 50% and it is quite possible that birds enjoy these seeds.

Sent them to a relative in Tennessee and she didn't have much better luck.
These did not grow in Florida. I used several packs where only a couple sprouted and they grew way too slow. Sent them to a relative in Tennessee and she didn't have much better luck.

One expensive plant
Only one seed germinated. I will be babying it, hoping to get seeds for next year. Disappointed

Did not grow
Would not grow - I planted these several times but no luck in getting them to grow.
