Asclepias speciosa

Xerces Native Milkweed Planting and Establishment Guide for the Western United States

Ecological Function

The native milkweeds are famous for being a host plant for the monarch butterfly. The butterfly lays its eggs on milkweed plants and only on milkweed plants, which supply the nutrients the egg needs as it turns into a caterpillar. Research on the reasons trend towards monarch extinction always lists the absence of only native  as a major factor in successful monarch reproduction. Can be seen in summer covered with the green caterpillars that will become monarch butterflies. It grows 2-4' tall in full sun and can handle some shade. Do not plant non-native milkweeds; they  can be a serious problem.

Growing Procedures

There are 75-100 seeds per packet, enough for at least 25 to 30 plants. Milkweeds need cold-stratification, which simulates cold weather. Place seed on damp paper towel. Put the towel and the seed in a plastic bag and place in a refrigerator. This is "cold-stratification." After a month, sow the seeds in a warm greenhouse. The seeds will appreciate some warmth to germinate. It goes dormant in the late summer. It spreads through underground rhizomes.

Tips

We recommend using species that grow in your region, if possible. Coastal gardeners should think twice before planting milkweeds, which may not have grown there historically. It may create problems to draw migratory species out of their regular patterns. For example, some species may not have resistance to the fungi stimulated by fog. The caterpillars that will develop on that plant may not survive, thereby "wasting" the eggs of that species.

Give them full sun and only water occasionally once they are established. These plants go dormant in late summer and fall. They spread through rhizomes into large clumps, and make a beautiful display.

There are 75-100 seeds per packet, enough for 30 to 40 plants.

Comfortable and lightweight
Size: 2T, Color: Stone Light Wash, Size: 2T, Color: Stone Light Wash
I purchased the **Amazon Essentials soft stretch denim jacket** for my baby/toddler, and overall it’s a **cute and practical layering piece**, especially for the price. **What I liked:** The jacket has a classic denim look that goes with almost anything—jeans, leggings, dresses, or even over a onesie. The **stone wash color** is versatile and gives it a slightly vintage style. The denim has a bit of **stretch in the fabric**, which helps make it more comfortable for babies and toddlers who are constantly moving. Many denim jackets can feel stiff, but this one is softer and easier for little ones to wear. The **regular-fit design** gives enough room for layering over shirts or light sweaters without feeling too tight. It’s also lightweight enough for spring or fall weather, making it a good everyday jacket rather than a heavy coat. **What could be better:** The material is a bit **thinner than traditional denim jackets**, which is nice for comfort but means it won’t provide much warmth in colder temperatures. It works best as a light outer layer rather than a winter jacket. Sizing can also vary slightly. Some parents find that the sleeves run a little long on smaller babies, so it may require rolling the cuffs at first. **Overall:** The Amazon Essentials baby denim jacket is a **stylish, affordable option for everyday wear**. It’s comfortable, easy to pair with different outfits, and flexible enough for active babies and toddlers. While it’s not the thickest denim and may run slightly big, it’s still a great value if you’re looking for a simple, cute jacket for your little one. ⭐ **Overall rating:** 4/5 – Cute, comfortable, and budget-friendly, but lighter weight than a traditional denim jacket.

Perfect for a diy project. Not a high quality, or heavy duty jacket. But perfect for what I was looking for. I think it would work for springtime and fall.
