- Slow to germinate, it needs at least three weeks to germinate at 70°F (21°C)
- Each package contains 30 swamp milkweed seeds and 50 common milkweed seeds
- Highlight: 1. Both are low-maintenance perennial 2. Common milkweeds are drought-tolerant and swamp milkweeds are wet-tolerant. Two plants complement with each other to sustain the beloved monarch butterflies
- Hundredfold is a trusted Canadian trademark since 2017. Good fruits multiply/Les bons fruits se multiplient
- Do not clean up (ie, cut-down) these plants during fall and winter so the monarch pupa may not be disturbed or destroyed

Product description
Butterfly watching is profoundly beneficial, both physically and emotionally. It is rewarding to spot a monarch butterfly in one's garden. This milkweed combo consists of common milkweed and swamp milkweed seeds. Note: we grow both milkweeds in our garden and are privileged to welcome monarch butterflies occasionally... in the City of Toronto.
