Plant Features

Syriaca Milkweed Plants offer lovely, pink hued flowers that provide double duty: it feeds our friends the Monarch butterflies and their larvae, and it kills off invasive lantern flies. It also attracts bees, hummingbirds and other pollinators will providing fiber for wild birds to build their nests. It is the host plant for the Monarch butterfly. Mother nature at her finest! Asclepias Syriaca is the most common perennial milkweed variety and grows in just about any soil condition, sandy, clay, rock, wet or dry.

Asclepias Companion Plants: Aster, Echinacea, Kniphofia, Salvia

Syriaca Asclepias Plant Care Instructions: Keep the plant well-watered for the first 3-4 weeks after transplanting. After that, only water if the plant starts looking droopy. Deadheading the first flush of flowers promotes additional blooms. If you don’t want the plant to self-seed, remove all flowers once they are finished blooming. Plants can be cut back to the ground once they drop their leaves. Spring is a good time to fertilize.

Finest quality

I've been attempting to start a butterfly garden for 2 years, ordering from most online retailers that carry that species. Hands down these are the strongest plants I've received. The plants from other sources were spindly, weak, and non-starters. GrowJoy knows that they are doing, and I will continue to order from them. I was enormously impressed with the quality of these plants, after receiving such weak specimens from others that died after a few days. Thank you GrowJoy. Your standards and expertise are beyond reproach.

New milkweed for me!

I've made made gaillardia and milkweed the heart of my butterfly garden and these were flowering even before they were planted. All of the gaillardia and asclepias plants from Growjoy have been great. This particular variety was new to me and i am delighted with the wide range of plants growjoy offers.

Common milkweed

I am just excited to have found a company that carries and ships in a very timely manner, the plants that I m interested in for a monarch garden! This (as well as the Woodson milkweed, I ordered) are crucial in helping a struggling species and I am beyond excited that this will NOT be my only contact/ purchase with this company. This as well as the Woodson milkweed, are thriving, with new growth!

A good company

I ordered 2 milkweed plants to help support our Monarch Butterflies. The plants were well packaged and the plants arrived in top notch condition. I would order from this company again.

Milkweed

Received very quickly. It is growing 'like a weed' already and this sure beats the tiny seedlings I tried last year from another competitor. All 18 of those, unfortunately, died after about 5 weeks. I have big hopes for this plant.
