  • MILKWEED
    • MILKWEED – SPRING & SUMMER

      Gaining its name from the milky sap secreted when stems are broken, Milkweed produces some of the most complex flowers in the plant kingdom.

      With more than 100 different milkweed species native to North America, the best time to collect common milkweed is in the Fall.
