How to Grow:
Start seeds indoors in soilless mix in early March for late-summer blooms. Maintain a temperature of 20°C for germination in 10 to 20 days. Once germinated, place seedlings under light at 15°C, harden them off, and transplant them outdoors in a sunny spot after the last frost. Alternatively, sow outdoors in mid-October for natural winter stratification.
Butterfly Weed is perfect for pollinator gardens, adding a burst of color while providing vital nectar and shelter for butterflies. A must-have for a vibrant and lively garden!
