Now Sowing: California Native Milkweeds
Alongside nectar-rich flowering plants, California native milkweed provides life cycle habitat for monarchs. Sow milkweed seed in the warm months of mid-spring through summer and support monarch butterflies!
Theodore Payne Foundation kindly asks for your help
in protecting the delicate balance of our native ecosystems by not sowing seeds in nature preserves, open spaces, wilderness, or post-burn areas. Our seed offerings are intended to be sown in cultivated and garden settings.
