Description

The listing, **LAST ONE**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 all right! These gorgeous plants need part to full sun and prefer a moist area around a stream or pond. This is the last pack I have.

how many seeds?

I say 50, but I always put a few extras in, so it's more like 52-55 or so.

do they produce alot of seeds?

May 15th, 2011 at 8:14:01 AM PDT by

Yes indeed! Lots of seed! ;-) They make big (3" to 4") light tan pods with hundreds of seeds in each attached to "parachutes" of silk, so that when the pod cracks open, the seeds are blown far and wide by the slightest breeze. My 72 year old Mother remembers harvesting the silk in elementary school to send to the war effort. The allies made real parachutes from them in WW2.
