Aesculus parviflora

Grow Bottlebrush Buckeye (Aesculus parviflora), a southeastern U.S. native deciduous shrub known for showy upright spikes of white summer flowers. It is an excellent choice for woodland edges, shade gardens, pollinator plantings, and moist naturalized areas. Bottlebrush Buckeye typically forms a broad, multi-stemmed colony over time. Its flowers attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators, while its palmately compound foliage develops yellow fall color.

Common Milkweed Seeds (Asclepias syriaca)

Asclepias syriaca

$5.99

Grow Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), a native perennial wildflower and an important host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars. Common Milkweed produces clusters of fragrant pink to mauve flowers that attract a variety of pollinators. Established plants spread through underground rhizomes and can develop into colonies, making the species particularly useful for larger native gardens, meadow plantings, pollinator habitat, and wildlife areas. Milkweed is an important component of monarch habitat because monarch caterpillars feed on milkweed plants. Seed Details: - Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) - 2026 harvest - Cleaned and processed by Base Camp North - Untreated seeds - Seed-grown plants may naturally vary - Sold for propagation Growing Information: Common Milkweed seed generally benefits from cold, moist stratification before spring planting. Seeds can also be fall-sown outdoors where natural winter conditions provide stratification. Common Milkweed can spread once established and should be planted where its colony-forming growth habit is appropriate. No specific germination percentage is guaranteed. Seeds are sold for propagation and are not intended for consumption. 🎁 FREE MILKWEED SEEDS WITH EVERY ORDER! Every Base Camp North order includes a FREE packet of 25 Common Milkweed Seeds (Asclepias syriaca). Help support monarch butterflies, pollinators, and native wildlife habitat—one planting at a time.
