Description

The listing, 50 Pink Butterfly Plant Seeds, 2010 has ended.

Asclepias incarnata, also called Swamp Milkweed grows about 5 feet tall with softball-sized pink flower heads that smell strongly of vanilla. This is one of the members of the Milkweed family that Monarch Butterflies need to eat. Its' common name of Swamp Milkweed refers to the wet environment they prefer, but mine suddenly showed up in my Perennial garden this year, a gift or blessing from some animal or bird dropping seeds there. The Butterflies sure found it allright! These gorgeous plants need part to full sun and prefer a moist area around a stream or pond.

I found a cheap solution to those expensive bottom heating pads to start seeds; I put my seed trays on top of my aquarium lights! This works fine if your lights throw some heat, but not a lot of heat. Caution is advised here.
