Oh my gosh we so love these butterfly milkweed plants! Not only have we had monarchs visit us but several black swallowtail butterflies as well. Every time we look at these plants they make us smile. And to think we are helping out the butterfly population at the same time!

Loving these plants! Pretty and grows back fast after the caterpillars get to it! We got 3 plants and have seen 14 caterpillars since planting!

I planted them right away. I was impressed with the packaging and the plant quality. The root system was healthy and the plants were not terribly dehydrated as many mail order plants can be.

All my plants arrived in good shape and have grown well since planting. I have purchased these for the last couple of years and they all grew back.

I have been so impressed with each delivery I've received. The packaging is superb, keeping the plants in a safe, healthy state during shipping. Each plant has been healthy and strong, transplanting and thriving. Every single plant I ordered and put in my garden last year, came back strong this year - acting every bit like a 3rd year plant. I love my 3 Little Bluestem plugs and can't wait to watch them grow next year. Absolutely worth the cost!

Very impressed with the packaging and health of the plants when I received them. All 12 of my plants are doing fantastic after planting them two months ago. So impressed I recommend to several friends!

I planted them this spring so no flowers yet but I did accidentally break the stem for two of the plants which had ALL the leaves. I thought the plant was a goner BUT it came back. The root system was strong even for the little plants and it is back to thriving again.
