The Milkweed host plants are the only food Monarch caterpillars eat. Milkweed is no longer listed as an Ontario noxious weed.  Do not consume any part of a milkweed plant as the sap contains cardiac glycosides that are poisonous to humans and livestock if ingested in significant quantities. Flowers are attractive, fragrant and extremely popular nectar and pollen sources for pollinators (bees in particular). Grows 60-90 cm in height. Perennials are hardy to Zone 3. For many native and perennial plants, late fall is the best time to sow seeds directly outside. Why you ask? Simply put, many of these plants produce seed that is viable but dormant.

After germination, grow under lights at a slightly cooler temperature before hardening off and transplanting outside after the danger of frost has passed. Plants grow 60-120 cm tall. Seed from mature plants disperses easily by wind action. Common milkweed prefers full sun locations in well-drained soil. Often found in fallow or abandoned fields, fence rows, roadsides and dry meadows.
