The listing, Common Milkweed - 10 seeds has ended.

This is the wild milkweed that grows in Colorado. It grows about 2 feet tall in the wild, but has reached 4 to 4 1/2 feet. The flowers are incredibly sweet in the Spring, and the plant makes new ones every year once established. Common Milkweed (A. syriaca) is a native perennial plant found in prairies and pastures, along roadsides, and on the banks or edges of ponds and lakes. It is so named because of the milky sap found in its leaves, stems and pods. Common Milkweed is hardy in zones 3-8 and grows 2 to 5 feet high. Thriving in full sun to partial shade, it can be grown in all types of soil. Because it requires minimal amounts of water, milkweed makes a good addition to the garden.
