Milkweed Seed Fluff

Milkweed Gone To Seed

I love how shiny and silky these seeds look, as the wind spreads them to create more milkweed for next years Monarch Butterflies. Monarchs can’t survive without milkweed. They need it to lay their eggs on and their caterpillars only eat milkweed plants. The monarch butterfly population is in danger because milkweed plants are disappearing, due to loss of habitat stemming from land development and the widespread spraying of weed killer on the fields where they live. We can help monarchs by growing milkweed in our yards, fields, and gardens.
