Planting and Growing Instructions
Sunlight Requirements: Butterfly Milkweed thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily to ensure healthy growth and abundant blooms.
Days to Maturity: 70-90 days to first blooms, with perennial growth in subsequent seasons.
Planting Depth: Sow seeds at a depth of 1/4 inch for optimal germination.
Plant Spacing: Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow ample room for growth and airflow.
Days to Germination: 10-20 days, depending on temperature and soil conditions.
Indoor vs. Outdoor Sowing: For best results, start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost or sow directly outside after the danger of frost has passed. If starting indoors, stratify seeds for 30 days by chilling them in moist soil to mimic natural cold conditions.
Soil and Water Needs: Plant in well-drained soil with moderate moisture needs. Butterfly Milkweed is drought-tolerant once established.
