Project Milkweed
Thanks for your order.
We appreciate your help in supporting pollinators. Shipments will be made during the fall season, specifically between August 1st and October 1st. For orders placed after October 1st, the seeds will be shipped during the subsequent fall season.
To ensure successful germination, it is recommended to plant the milkweed seeds before October 15th. The winter cold is essential for the germination process of milkweed seeds.
Please find detailed information below regarding planting and maintenance guidelines to contribute to this cause.
We want to hear from you!
