## Description

## Features

- Habitat: Swamp Milkweed thrives in wet environments like swamps, marshes, and along the edges of ponds, streams, or ditches. It's native to North America, particularly in the eastern and central regions.
- Appearance: This perennial plant grows to about 3 to 5 feet tall. It has narrow, lance-shaped leaves and produces clusters of pink to mauve flowers, though white varieties also exist.
- Ecological Role: It's an essential plant for monarch butterflies. The leaves serve as a primary food source for monarch caterpillars, and the plant is crucial for their reproductive cycle. It also attracts a variety of other pollinators like bees and hummingbirds.
- Cultivation: Swamp Milkweed is relatively easy to grow in gardens if you provide it with consistently moist, well-drained soil. It prefers full sun but can tolerate some shade. Propagation can be done through seeds or by dividing the root clumps in early spring.
- Quality: All Milkweed seeds packaged by Seed Needs are intended for the current and the following growing seasons. All seeds are stored in a temperature controlled facility that is free of significant amounts of moisture.
- Quantity: Seed Needs offers generous quantities. You can share with friends and family, or you can save the extra seeds until the following season, if properly stored.
- Packets: Each seed packet displays an artful illustration of the variety to be grown, as well as detailed seed sowing information on the reverse side. They measure 3.5" wide by 5" tall.
- Promise: Seed Needs will never knowingly supply GMO based seed products. The vast majority of our seeds are open pollinated & heirloom, with the exception of a few hybrids.
- Germination: Seed Needs packets contain some of the freshest seed available. Direct from the growers. If sown correctly, you will begin seeing results in only a matter of days.
- Freshness: All Milkweed seeds are packaged in tear resistant and moisture resistant packaging. This keeps the seeds a whole lot fresher than the competitions selection!

    Evangelical colonizers under the guise of saving the earth
  

*by K***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020*

EVANGELICAL COLONIZERS.  SUPPORT OTHER SEED COMPANIES PLEASE.Edit: rude customer service response after I asked them to keep their religious pleas for help out of my inbox.Regrettably, I haven’t planted these seeds yet, they’re still germinating in my refrigerator,  but tonight I received an email requesting a review and to let me know that a portion of my purchases are funneled to an evangelical mission group that bribes new converts in impoverished villages with healthcare and meager rations in exchange for selling their soul to their religious platform.I regret my purchase and will likely throw the seeds away, as I don’t want to pollute my garden with this energy.

    How to germinate....
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2020*

I’ve read a few of the reviews here and it seems like folks struggle with germinating these.... Here’s how you do it: 1) Take the seeds and roll or fold them into a damp paper towel, put the paper towel (with seeds in it) in a zip loc plastic bag, and put in the refrigerator (do not freeze) for at least 30 days (preferably at least 60 day). This is the “cold stratification” that is required for this type of plant. 2) After 30 to 60 days of cold stratification remove the seeds and put them in seed starting potting soil. I use 16oz solo cups (use a nail to put several drain holes in bottom) and miracle grow soil. Barely cover this type of seed with soil. If you put them too deep they will not germinate as they require light to germinate. Optimal germination temperature is around 75f. They will not germinate in cold or hot conditions. They need to be in the “goldilocks” zone around 68f to 80f. 3) Germination should take around 5 to 14 days. Transplant to garden after hardening off for 7 to 10 days when the seedlings have at least 4 true leaves..... I had almost 90% of these seeds germinate using that method. They’re going into the garden tomorrow morning. Also it’s very rare for incarnata to flower first or even second year as the plant is dedicating energy to developing the root system. Hope that helps anyone who’s been struggling or planning on helping the monarchs and other pollinators!

    We have monarchs!
  

*by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2019*

Update:  planted in 2019 (review below). They all came up again in 2020.  It’s now 2021 and some of them are sprouting already again!!I planted about 20 seeds (10 pink and 10 white). I used a sun lamp and most germinated. Unfortunately, I only ended up with about 8 seedlings by the time I transplanted them outside as some did not survive (probably not the seeds fault). Once in the ground, the remaining plants have thrived!  I read that they wouldn’t bloom the first year, but the shortest plant is starting to bloom. Monarchs visited us and laid eggs last week and we now have teeny, tiny caterpillars! This is not the same variety that grows wild in Pennsylvania, but appears to be doing well nonetheless.  Hope the milkweed survives the winter.
