Product Description
pequeño Utah/2021 seeds are from a vast population of showy milkweed isolated within a highway interchange west of Salt Lake City Utah. The mature fruit (seed pods) were particularly interesting because they were pequeño (small). The average length of the pods was three inches compared to over four on your standard showy milkweed. I cannot guarantee the results will be reproduced on plants grown from these seeds but I hope they grow similar pods. I plan to have more information by fall 2024 as I grow them out myself!
