We are honored to make Showy Milkwood seeds available this season. A pollinator magnet you simply must grow in your sunny garden, it is a Native American perennial with so many merits, you will wonder how you ever got by without it.

Showy Milkweed is a stout, well-branched plant, airy and beautifully textured. The blue-green leaves are thick and slightly hairy, topped by glorious rosy-pink starbursts fully 4 to 5 inches wide from late spring into early fall. You will seldom find it out of bloom for 4 to 5 months at a stretch. And the blooms have that distinctive licorice aroma so beloved of hummingbird mint.

Butterflies aren't the only pollinators to visit these blooms. Honeybees and bumblebees find the nectar irresistible too. Be sure to site Showy Milkweed in a fully sunny spot, in well-drained soil. This is not a container plant; it grows a long taproot, so try to plant it where you know you want it to grow, because transplanting is very difficult.

Some asclepias species (not the cultivated varieties, but the wild species) can be invasive, but Showy Milkweed is far more restrained. It will self-sow, so if you don't want volunteers, simply remove the last blooms before they set seed. Or let the handsome seedpods form, cut them off, and share the rewards with friends who lack Showy Milkweed in their gardens.

Because milkweed is a food source for monarch caterpillars, you may find some nibbled foliage. In fact, you should. That means that the caterpillars have fed and are ready for the chrysalis stage. And if you look very closely under the stems, you may see semi-transparent chrysalises containing beautiful folded-up butterflies, just waiting to break open and fly. It's an amazing sight, and one that every gardener should experience.

Here are just a few of the butterflies you can look for on your Showy Milkweed:
checkerspots
hairstreaks
painted ladies
pale swallowtails
queens
tiger swallowtails
variegated fritillaries
monarchs

When your seeds arrive, they need about a month of chill time. If you have room in your fridge, pop the seeds into the Bio Dome and put the whole Dome (or just the bottom tray, covered with plastic) into the fridge. But that takes up space, so another method is to place the seeds onto a moistened paper towel, fold the towel over them, and place it in a plastic bag. Put the bag in the fridge where it won't be disturbed for a month. Either way, once the seeds have gone through their chill time, you can sow and grow them indoors until they have at least 2 sets of true leaves.

Hardy from one end of the country to another, easy to grow, and ready to self-sow if you want more plants, Showy Milkweed is a treasure. Make it part of your permanent landscape this season.

The perfect jean for the "in between tween"
Size: 16 Plus, Color: Md Lara Wash
As a parent, one of my top priorities is ensuring that my daughter feels confident and comfortable in her own skin, especially as she navigates the challenging world of growing up. However, finding the perfect pair of jeans for her has always been a struggle. At the tender age of 11, the last thing I want her to experience is frustration and discomfort when trying on clothes. We've encountered the all-too-common issue of jeans that fit well on the legs but are impossible to zip up and button, leaving my daughter feeling self-conscious and disheartened. Despite her not being plus-sized, finding jeans in her size that didn't constrict or make her feel "fat" (a term I use delicately) seemed like an impossible task. Enter these jeans. In a moment of trial and error, I decided to try a plus-size option, and to our delight, it worked like a charm. My daughter slipped into these jeans effortlessly, and for the first time, she didn't have to struggle or squeeze into them. The fit was perfect, and she felt like a million dollars. The transformation in her confidence was truly remarkable. No longer did she feel insecure about her body or her clothes. Instead, she walked tall, radiating beauty and confidence. These jeans have become a wardrobe staple for her, and I couldn't be happier with the way they've positively impacted her self-esteem. If your daughter is going through a similar experience, I wholeheartedly recommend giving these jeans a try. They're not only affordable but also incredibly inclusive in their sizing, catering to a diverse range of body types. Don't let the frustration of finding the right fit dampen your daughter's spirits. With these jeans, she'll feel empowered and beautiful, just as every young girl should.
