Everwilde Farms 40 Prairie Milkweed Flower Seeds, Native Wildflower, Attracts Butterflies

This Everwilde Farms Prairie Milkweed, though it has become rare in some areas, thrives in midwestern American prairies. It typically grows in moist areas, meadows or thickets. This species name, "sullivantii," honors noted 19th century American botanist William Starling Sullivant. At one time, the silk from these milkweed flower seed pods was spun for fabric or repurposed for stuffing pillows for people to use. Though this plant is toxic to most animals, butterflies are immune to the plant's poison and actually become rather poisonous themselves as protection from predators. The native wildflower is available in a variety of amounts, including a 40-count, so you can choose just what is needed to start your garden. It blooms in brilliant color, attracting butterflies with ease. The flower can be paired with other wild flowers to create a colorful attractant in your yard. It is simple to grow and maintain, making it an ideal addition to your home.
