White and pink milkweed, grown by hand in Alberta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collected from my own patch\u2014three years in the making. Now ready to share.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019d like to plant milkweed to help the monarchs, I\u2019ll send you free seeds from this season\u2019s harvest. To keep this program sustainable, I use the old-school method: Self-Addressed Stamped Envelopes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83c\udf38 Milkweed Types You May Receive:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common Milkweed (Pink Blooms):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the showy, fragrant classic\u2014broad leaves and clusters of pink star-shaped flowers. Monarchs love it for both nectar and egg-laying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Swamp Milkweed (White Blooms):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More delicate and compact, swamp milkweed thrives in wetter soil. Its white flowers bloom in gentle sprays\u2014and it\u2019s just as vital to monarchs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2728 Why It Matters:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milkweed is the only plant monarch caterpillars can eat. But it\u2019s more than that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • \ud83c\udf3f It\u2019s a perennial\u2014it comes back year after year<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \ud83d\udca7 It\u2019s drought-resistant, perfect for tough summers<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \ud83d\udc1d It attracts all kinds of pollinators\u2014bees, butterflies, and beneficial bugs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \ud83d\udeab It grows without pesticides or herbicides<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • \ud83c\udfe1 And it\u2019s beautiful\u2014fragrant, architectural, and bold in any garden<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    By planting even one, you\u2019re giving monarchs a place to land, grow, and survive\u2014while restoring the health of your local ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Let\u2019s plant with haste\u2014and without waste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83e\udd8b One seed at a time, we bring the wings back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
