Neonicotinoid-Free Non-GMO Narrowleaf Milkweed Seed

Narrowleaf Milkweed is a gorgeous California native flower that is the sole source of food for the Monarch butteries. The butterflies lay their eggs exclusively on Milkweed plants, creating an opportunity for us to plant Monarch habitat!

We recommend planting only milkweed plant that is native to your area.  Each region is going to have milkweed specific to its area - except the Pacific Northwest.

Disclaimer:  We only ship the appropriate milkweed that is native to your region.

Reasons why planting non-native milkweed is detrimental to the Monarchs:

  • In warmer regions, where milkweed does not die back in the winter, a build-up of a debilitating protozoan parasite (Ophryocystis elektroscirrha or OE) that infects monarchs can occur and promote year-round breeding.
  • Non-native milkweed presence in the fall could cause migrating monarchs to break diapause (a temporary non-reproductive state) and lay eggs instead of completing their migration to Mexico.
  • Reseeding (and invasion) of non-native milkweed species.


Narrowleaf Milkweed  grows as a subshrub about 2' - 4' high with stunning fragrant flowers. Known for their beautiful colors ranging in greenish white to deep purple, the Milkweed brings joy and life to every garden! Exuding a delicious vanilla scent, the milkweed also attracts other pollinators while bloom from June - August.

Also known as Mexican Whorled milkweed, this milkweed grows well in dry climates and will blossom from June - September.   This beautiful low maintenance, drought tolerant wildflower may be slow to grow the first year, as it sets its taproot deep into the earth.  In following years, it will grow more vigorous.

It is very important to plant only locally native milkweed species.  Please learn which milkweeds are native to your region and consult this milkweed range maps from the Biota of North America Program’s (BONAP) North American Plant Atlas.

Support the Monarch population by planting your local Milkweed seeds today!

If you live in California, this is the variety we recommend, although, California coastal gardeners check this map and decide if milkweed should be planted in your yard.

Milkweed may not have historically grown in your area.  Planting  milkweed closer to the coast, may lure Monarchs off of their regular migration pattern.  Some Monarchs may not have the resistance to the fungi, created by the moisture in the fog, resulting in caterpillars that are unable to survive.

    Gardening Tips

    Narrowleaf seeds must be stratified, if they are planted in the spring, for proper germination. 

    Instructions on cold stratification, to germinate seeds in the spring time.

    Place seeds on a damp paper towel. Put the towel and the seeds in a plastic bag and place in a refrigerator for one month.  This mimics the natural cold-stratification of planting these native seeds in the fall and having the winter to cold stratify. Make sure the paper towel is kept moist the entire time.  After a month, sow the seeds in a warm greenhouse or on a heated mat with a plastic dome.  It is important to keep seeds moist while they are growing.. The seeds will appreciate the warmth to properly germinate into strong plants. Narrowleaf planted in the spring will not flower, until the following spring season.  This is a slow growing perennial.   It will go dormant in the late summer. Once established, it spreads through underground rhizomes. 

    After the initial blooming season, plants require minimal moisture. Fall time pruning will help it go dormant. Leave 1" stick.

    Plants may appear eaten, but that is the monarch caterpillars feasting.

    Pretty Darn Good
    Format: Kindle
    So I’ve been on a omega kick and this definitely hit the spot. Madison was frustrating at times with how she acted towards Lucas, Gray, and Rian. It was like she said towards the end, she didn’t believe she deserved nice things. It would have been nice to hear from her best friends again. They kind of were there in the beginning and the gone except for mention of text messages received from them. I feel like her friends would have been great help in encouraging Madison to go with the pack and never give Brent another chance because he was toxic. I loved Rian. His personality was awesome. His humor. His ability to make Madison comfortable whenever she was feeling overwhelmed. And the fact he fell for her and she fell for him first. They are cute together. I do feel like Lucas was the odd man out though. Like Lucas didn’t develop as much of a relationship with Madison. I would have really liked to see more development in the relationship between them. It was also the same with him and Rian. There is really no relationship displayed. Most of the relationship being displayed is between Rian and Gray. Nevertheless, I loved reading about the dynamic that came to fruition during the entirety of this story. Madison finally got her happiness. And Brent finally got punched in the face. Everyone got exactly what they deserve.

    Pack's Promise was okay but not great
    Format: Kindle
    Pack's Promise was okay but not great. I won't recommend it to anyone that I know. PRO: * Very likable characters * Lots of steamy scenes that are written very well * The spelling and grammar are good * The punctuation is good with the exception of using hyphens instead of commas. Lots of hyphens. Lots and lots of hyphens. CON: * Almost no interactions with any characters outside of Madison and the pack * Nearly no plot. They meet, get together for a heat, agree to make it permanent, done * Quite a few typos such as extraneous words, missing words and words out of order THINGS TO KNOW: * More steamy scenes than storytelling * A lot of MM & MMM, some MFMM during heat

    Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
    Format: Kindle
    … this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.
