Back to buying optionsMilkweed Mix Live Plants, 2–5 Inch Tall, Asclepias Starter Plants, Monarch Butterfly Host Plants, Pollinator Garden
Create a welcoming habitat for monarch butterflies and other pollinators with this live Milkweed Mix (Asclepias species). Milkweed is especially valued as the essential host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars, while its flowers can provide nectar for adult butterflies, bees, and other visiting pollinators.
You will receive a healthy rooted Milkweed plant approximately 2–5 inches tall. Plants are selected from a mix of Asclepias varieties, so flower color, foliage, mature size, and specific growing characteristics may vary. Your plant ships WITHOUT a nursery pot and should be planted promptly after arrival.
These young starter plants are ideal for butterfly gardens, pollinator landscapes, naturalized areas, and sunny perennial beds. Some temporary wilting, drooping, or shipping stress can occur during transit and should improve as the plant becomes established.

✔️ Height: approximately 2–5 inches
✔️ Genus: Asclepias
✔️ Healthy, rooted starter plant
✔️ Ships WITHOUT a nursery pot
✔️ Variety and flower color may vary

💡 Care Tip: Unpack your Milkweed promptly after delivery and water as needed. Because the plant ships without a pot, plant it into an appropriate container or garden location as soon as practical. Initially keep it in a bright, protected location away from intense direct sun while it recovers from shipping, then gradually acclimate it to full sun. Avoid unnecessary root disturbance, as many Milkweed species develop substantial root systems.
