Butterflies and hummingbirds will flock to your garden to feast on the sweet nectar of this easy-to-grow, heirloom perennial. Often called swamp milkweed, this species grows best in moist or wet soils, such as near a pond or stream, but the loosely-clumped plants also grow well in a garden with regular watering. Decorative seed pods are beautiful in dried arrangements. Perennial in USDA zones 3-6. Sap is toxic; avoid eye/skin contact and do not ingest. Deer resistant.

When to sow outside: 2 to 4 weeks before your average last frost date, or fall for spring germination.

When to start inside: 6 to 8 weeks before your average last frost date. Special germination instructions: Benefits greatly from stratification (a cold, moist period) prior to germination (see inside of packet).
