Step-By-Step Instructions
Milkweed is the host plant for monarch butterflies—
making it essential to their survival. It is the sole 
plant on which females lay their eggs and the only 
plant caterpillars eat. Milkweed is also important 
to many other invertebrates and pollinators.
Milkweed seeds require cold stratification, a 
natural process that occurs when seeds lay 
dormant on the ground over winter. You can 
simulate this process quickly in your refrigerator 
with this kit. Visit seedsource.com to learn 
more about stratification and planting tips. 
Best to plant in mid-February to mid-March.
Faith in seed allows a life of learning
and enjoyment.
