Swamp Milkweed is a wild, gorgeous, moisture-loving perrenial plant. Clusters of pink and white star flowers grow in stems with long, willowy silver leaves that attract butterflies and hummingbirds. This plant is easy to grow from seed but looks fancy when mature but vigorous and tough.The plants spread naturally by wind-borne seeds and by creeping roots that spread out slowly under the ground. It thrives for swampy pots or outdoors in the fall, winter or early spring.

A seed starting soil mix is designed to give seeds everything they need to start growing. They are typically finer and lighter than regular soil mixes. This mix should contain ingredients such as compost, perlite, vermiculite, and peat moss.
