Open-Pollinated, Non-GMO, Neonicotinoid-Free Butterfly Milkweed Seeds

One of the most striking of native plants, butterfly milkweed lights up gardens, meadows and prairies with its glowing aura of brilliant orange flowers. Native to the northeastern and southern United States, this herbaceous perennial is a host plant for the Monarch Butterfly. Milkweed is the sole plant for monarchs to lay their eggs and provide food for their larvae.

Slow and hard to grow, this drought tolerant native may take up to 2 -3 years to flower. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance and will bring years of joy and wonder to your garden, flowering from June - August!

Butterfly milkweed is an important source of nectar for many pollinators, including bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. By planting butterfly milkweed seeds, gardeners can help support local pollinator populations and promote biodiversity in their communities.

We recommend planting only milkweed plant that is native to your area.  Each region is going to have milkweed specific to its area - except the Pacific Northwest and Alaska.

Disclaimer:  We only ship the appropriate milkweed that is native to your region.

Reasons why planting non-native milkweed is detrimental to the Monarchs:

  • In warmer regions, where milkweed does not die back in the winter, a build-up of a debilitating protozoan parasite (Ophryocystis elektroscirrha or OE) that infects monarchs can occur and promote year-round breeding.
  • Non-native milkweed presence in the fall could cause migrating monarchs to break diapause (a temporary non-reproductive state) and lay eggs instead of completing their migration to Mexico.
  • Reseeding (and invasion) of non-native milkweed species.

Blooms late spring throughout the summer. Flowers provide nectar for many butterflies, bees and beneficial insects.  Known as pleurisy root, referencing a prior medicinal use of the roots to treat lung inflammations.

Long bloom period from late spring throughout the summer. Flowers are a nectar source for many butterflies and leaves are a food source for monarch butterfly larvae (caterpillars). Also commonly called pleurisy root in reference to a prior medicinal use of the plant roots to treat lung inflammations.

Genus, Asklepios, honors the Greek god of medicine.

Monarchs will lay their eggs  on the milkweed and caterpillars will emerge around September, while the plant is creating its seed pods.  During this time, the caterpillar will devour the all the leafy matter of the plant and leave the seed pod alone.  It is imperative to allow the caterpillar to attain the nourishment it needs, while in the larvae stage. In 2–3 weeks, it grows to about 2,700 times its birth weight 

It is very important to plant locally native milkweed species.  Please learn which milkweeds are native to your region and consult this milkweed range maps from the Biota of North America Program’s (BONAP) North American Plant Atlas.

    Gardening Tips

      Milkweed seeds must be stratified, if they are planted in the spring, for proper germination. 

      Instructions on how to cold stratify the seeds for spring time planting.

      Milkweed roots are very sensitive.   When transplanting, the milkweed plant may go though shock and could lose all its leaves. Not to worry if this occurs.  Your plants are establishing their roots and will eventually grow leaves again. Taproot can grow up to 16". 

      Grows well in most soil types - preferring well draining, sandy or loamy. 

      Propagates by seed.

      Worth every penny
      Style: 6 sqft
      Works great! I have a van and it took all the noise out of the rear doors. I am almost in shock at how quiet it is now.

      Great for what it does but not a miracle
      Style: 30 sqft
      Sticks well. Definitely thicker and nicer than the Kilmat version. If I were buying again I would just buy more of this, the value is better even though you get less total coverage per pack. Can be cut to size easily, we used a box cutter which got a little gummed but but not too bad. we were able to get it in and around everywhere we needed to put it and it held up well as we were mashing it into weird spots. It doesnt smell hardly at all while being applied and once its on there is no smell whatsoever The product is great for what it is. 4 stars only because I think it gets oversold for how much this alone can do. We did notice a slight reduction in noise but nowhere near the multiple decibels we see claimed everywhere. If your vehicle is mostly quiet but just has that little bit getting through this will probably do wonders, If you have a vehicle where there's significant engine noise in the cabin you'll need more than just this to bring that down.

      Great product!
      Style: 30 sqft
      I can say this product makes a huge difference with road noise and is cleaner and easy to work with when applying compared to other mats that cost about the same price.

      Very heavy and thick
      Style: 30 sqft
      I purchased mini brands of sound ending and this is by far the heaviest sound deadening I've ever ordered. I'm not installed yet but I have a good feeling that is going to work exceptionally in blocking sound. If weight is a concern for you I would recommend a lighter product however if sound quality and a quiet ride is your priority this is the one for you.

      Siless Hybrid 3-in-1 - Far Exceeded my Expectations!!!
      Model: SLH20025
      I recently installed the Siless Hybrid 3-in-1 sound deadening mat in my vehicle, and I’m genuinely impressed. For just $80 for 25 square feet, this product delivers performance that rivals materials costing twice as much — and with far less hassle. If you're on the fence......Just buy it! You will not be disappointed. Easy to Install: Unlike traditional sound deadening products that are stiff, sharp, and temperature-sensitive, this mat is soft, flexible, and easy to work with. I cut it cleanly with regular scissors and pressed it into tight spaces using just my fingers, so if in you don't have a roller or install tool, a good pair of scissors and your hands can get the job done. With other brands like Dynamat, the aluminum layer often leaves micro cuts on your hands and tears up your fingertips, but Siless does not due the acoustic layer being on top and above the aluminum layer that holds the butyl layer. So, it's very easy on your hands. Even in cooler temperatures (around 50°F), I had no trouble applying it but it goes on better heated. If warm outside, I would leave the entire box out in the sun for at least 30 minutes when it's warm or heats it's very pliable and easy to mold. Make sure its where you want it because once applied it's not ever falling off. and it became even more pliable and easy to mold. No heat gun, no mess — just straightforward application. I installed 40–50 square feet throughout the interior, covering everything except the headliner and the flooring forward of the rear seat. The difference in cabin noise is astonishing. I can turn my radio up concert loud with gut-punching bass, and from outside the car, it sounds like a factory sound system at mid volume. I was blown away by how well it contains sound — both inside out and outside in. My exhaust is pretty aggressive and now is barely audible from inside the cabin. While driving, it almost sounds like a stock factory setup. The Siless matting actually changed the driving experience and feels refined. If you're skeptical about sound deadening gimmicks, I get it, but this is the first product I've used and when I needed more, I went Stright to the 3 in 1 Hybrid matting and purchased it again. I love researching before buying and that's very uncommon for me to do. Note: Proper installation is key, and it does take time and patience. But if installed correctly and in the right places, it works better previously used from paint-on sound deadening to Dynamat. Update Nov, 2025 After using it this in 4 separate vehicles now. I feel the Siless’s 3 in 1 Hybrid has nailed it for best budget deadener that is better than dynamat extreme in performance and installation Protip: buy a roll of 2-3” aluminum tape and tape the seams. After trimming the edges tend to very sticky between the panels. I ran a strip of aluminum tape over the seems to create a better seal and true moisture I used it on four vehicles now and have I have not been paid to review and purchased every order myself. 3 in 1 Hybrid deadener by Siless is the best all around easy to apply sound deadner period!
