Botanical name: Asclepias purpurascens

Common name: Purple milkweed

25 seeds per packet.

 

A beautiful native milkweed prized for its rich rose-purple flower clusters and value to monarchs and other pollinators. Its broad green leaves and showy blooms make it an excellent choice for native gardens, pollinator plantings, and naturalized landscapes.

 

Purple milkweed typically grows best in full sun to light shade with well-drained soil. Like other native milkweeds, it serves as a host plant for monarch caterpillars while its flowers provide nectar for bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects.

These are fresh 2026 seeds and likely to sell out by the year's end.

    Asclepias californica review

    "This site is an amazing resource! Very generous I bought seeds of several varieties, read blog posts about which seeds to clip and how, and about germination using a heat pad. Germination rates varied between the varieties, just about how I expected from the information provided on the site. I am satisfied and will be ordering more."

    Asclepias verticillata review

    "Used the water method to germinate. Put the seeds in water on a heat mat. After sprouting planted in pots. Germination was greater than 50%. Under lights now. Looking forward to planting outside in a few weeks."

    Asclepias speciosa review

    "So far so good, lots of seedlings growing right in the ground and in a plant pot. I'm not sure the seeds in the fridge will sprout, but an extra seed packet was included in my order so it's not like I lost anything. Thanks!"
