Swamp Milkweed: Plant Care & Harvesting Seeds! Asclepias incarnata

Описание

My Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) plants are about 4 years old now, and they have allowed me to provide valuable nectar for pollinators. I see more biodiversity on these plants than anything else in my garden! Being this established they also produce a MASSIVE quantity of seeds which allows me to share! Every time I have a booth at an event you'll find me giving these seeds away! And last year I gave seeds to my trick-or-treaters at Halloween and it was a HUGE HIT! When the kids realized that they could grow flowers to help the butterflies their faces lit up like it was Christmas morning! So much better than candy!

This species of Milkweed is a wonderful addition to any garden! It does not spread by roots, so aside from blowing seeds it does stay where it's planted and behaves itself nicely.

If you found this video because I gave you a seed pack - thank you for watching and for caring about our pollinators! I hope you learn everything your need to know to successfully grow your new plants. Remember to subscribe for future videos about gardening and green businesses!

If you want seeds of your own, I recommend visiting:
SaveOurMonarchs.org
to place and order and support their cause! They have a few different seeds and products available, as well as merch.

If you have your heart set on getting a pack from me, send your mailing address to: GardenUpLandscape@yahoo.com
and I will send some seeds your way!
