Description

Milkweed (Milkweed (title-derived)) is an annual garden plant for garden borders and beds. Give plants full sun and moderately fertile, well-drained soil as they establish.

Prepare the planting medium, then begin seed starting in the recommended germination range. Water moderately and prevent the soil from becoming waterlogged in early growth and remove spent flowers as needed to keep the planting tidy.
