Thanks to the success of the brand, Seed Needs has kept its promise to continuously donate to various organizations and personally sponsor over 100 children worldwide each month - a significant increase from just one child sponsored in 2010.

The founder of Seed Needs started the company at just 15 years old, with the goal of bringing his family closer, retiring his father, employing friends, and, most importantly, helping people.

Seed Needs products are unique not only for their quality but also for their beautiful packaging, which is sure to bring a smile to customers' faces. The company is proud to have been able to grow its sponsorships to support over 100 kids each month, and it continues to donate to St. Jude Children's Hospital and the ASPCA on a monthly basis.

Seed Needs' packets feature artful illustrations of the varieties inside, along with the common and scientific names, seed quantity, and growing information. The reverse side of each packet provides full instructions, including specifications on sowing, growing conditions, and germination.

All Seed Needs products are non-GMO, untreated, and stored in a temperature-controlled facility free of moisture. The seeds are always packaged for the current and following growing seasons, and they are 99% pure with no added fillers.

One of Seed Needs' popular offerings is Asclepias incarnata, or "Swamp Milkweed," a crucial host plant for the endangered Monarch butterfly. Swamp Milkweed produces clusters of beautiful pink flowers and attracts a variety of beneficial insects, including bumblebees, ladybugs, and hummingbirds.

To successfully grow Swamp Milkweed, the seeds require a process of stratification before sowing. They are best sown indoors, 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost, at a shallow depth and with light exposure for germination. Transplant or direct sow outdoors when the weather is warm and all danger of frost has passed.

Swamp Milkweed thrives in full sun, with rich, well-drained soil, and should be watered daily until germination occurs. The plants will mature to a height of 36 to 60 inches and can be spaced 12 to 18 inches apart.

By purchasing Asclepias / Swamp Milkweed seeds from Seed Needs, customers can help prevent further decline in the Monarch butterfly population and support the company's mission to make a positive impact on the world.
