Common Milkweed is a hardy native perennial that produces fragrant pink flower clusters while providing essential habitat for Monarch Butterflies. Its deep underground roots allow it to return each year and gradually form a natural colony. GermiSync™ prepares the seeds to germinate without months of cold stratification, and each seed is formed into a visible pellet for easier planting and more even coverage.

RAKE
Clear away weeds and debris, then loosen the top inch of soil. Good prep helps the seeds make proper contact with the soil.
SHAKE
Shake pellets evenly across your area (~1 inch apart). Each pellet contains one seed, so spacing stays consistent and planting stays controlled.
PAT
Rake or pat seeds snug into the soil. This keeps them in place and ensures strong seed-to-soil contact.
WATER
Water once or twice daily. The soil should look dark, like a damp sponge for the first 2-3 weeks to to kickstart germination.
