Milkweed is an easy to grow, hardy, and beautiful plant. It produces clusters of small yellow flowers. It is also the food source for the Monarch caterpillar/butterfly. It can grow over 2 feet tall and loves full/part sun. It produces seed pods for new plants and is constantly surrounded by butterflies!
Milkweed has very thin leaves and will be wilted upon arrival or they will be sent deadheaded. As with most plants received bare root, it is a good idea to soak the roots in fresh water for a day or two before planting.
**Shipping**
This item is shipped bare root with moistened towel.
I combine shipping. Please check out my other listings! To combine shipping please add items to your cart and do one single checkout. Please request an invoice for orders over 3+ items as the shipping rates tend to become exaggerated and I will adjust them for you. I can fit multiple items into one flat rate box to save $$. Happy planting!
Shipping is done early in the week to avoid long exposures over the weekend.Every now and then things do happen at the Post Office during shipping which can leave your plant damaged beyond saving. All I ask is for a picture of the DOA plant and I will replace the item. Normal shipping wear should be expected – leaves may fall off or soil can be disrupted. These items ship from Florida. If it is cold in your area some plants will hold up fine during shipping but heat packs are available. They are listed in my shop. I will not replace for cold damage if you choose not to purchase the heat pack.
Most importantly -- I appreciate my buyers!!! Please contact me with any plant concerns or questions before leaving feedback. I am here to help. :)
