0 views Sep 6, 2025

The genus Asclepias has become incredibly important in recent years and we have witnessed the Monarch Butterfly population decline substantially. However, there is one genus of plants that can absolutely help their population, and that would be the genus Asclepias. Within Asclepias there is A. tuberosa the Butterfly Weed, A. incarnata the Swamp Milkweed, and A. syriaca Milkweed. All of these North American native plants will produce lovely seed pods at the end of their blooming cycle that can be easily harvested. I demonstrate exactly how to harvest the seeds from the pods, how to store the seeds, how to germinate and grow the seeds on and finally how to get the seedlings planted into the garden. Follow my journey from start to finish on growing this incredible native plant. #nativeplant #butterfly #pollinators Find great plant tools here: https://amzn.to/43gIQE1 ******************************* My favorite plants products: Best Deluxe Growlight: https://amzn.to/3Tz3Vm1 Best Inexpensive Growlight: https://amzn.to/3hz2gzV Growlight Bulbs: https://amzn.to/3G3bZIS Clamp On Growlights: https://amzn.to/3TCgqxy Rooting Hormone: https://amzn.to/3Uujxsx Best Fertilizer for Foliage Growth: https://amzn.to/3fUACgi Best Fertilizer for Flowering: https://amzn.to/3WRkcFY Fungus Gnat Help: https://amzn.to/3UO4A4h Floral Tape: https://amzn.to/3A6vH2B Insect Control: https://amzn.to/3A3DgHe Pruning Shears: https://amzn.to/3A6vQDb Timer for Grow lights: https://amzn.to/3TnuYAU Moss Pole Ingredients: https://amzn.to/3hDYTY8
