10 Seeds – Hairy Ball Milkweed (Balloon Plant / Swan Plant)
Hairy Ball Milkweed (Gomphocarpus physocarpus) is one of the most unique milkweeds you can grow. Plants reach 4–6 ft tall, with white star-shaped flowers that draw in butterflies and bees, followed by fuzzy, balloon-like seed pods that always spark conversation. Monarch butterflies rely on milkweed as a host plant, making this variety especially valuable for their survival.
Best planted in fall so nature can cold-stratify the seeds, or start in spring after chilling them in the fridge for a few weeks. Once established, they thrive in full sun, need only moderate water, and are easy to harvest for future seed. The unusual pods are also popular in floral arrangements.
Note: This plant is toxic to humans and should not be eaten or handled carelessly. Wash hands after contact.
Includes 10 seeds per packet. Ships USPS regular mail, no tracking.
