Canada Moonseed Seeds (Menispermum canadense)

Menispermum canadense

Grow Canada Moonseed (Menispermum canadense), a native deciduous vine for woodland gardens and naturalized spaces. Its broad leaves and twining growth make it a distinctive choice for a sturdy trellis or fence. The common name refers to its crescent-shaped seeds. THIS LISTING IS FOR: - One packet containing 25 Canada Moonseed seeds for planting. - Seeds, not a live plant. GROWING INFORMATION: Plant in partial shade with moderately fertile, well-drained soil and consistent moisture. This vigorous vine spreads by rhizomes; give it room and manage unwanted growth. Separate male and female plants are needed for fruit production; seed-grown plants are not sexed. Sow outdoors in a protected seed bed or container and allow natural seasonal temperature cycles. Keep the growing medium moist, not waterlogged. Germination can be slow and irregular; timing and germination percentage are not guaranteed. SAFETY: Canada Moonseed is poisonous if ingested. Its fruit can resemble edible grapes. Do not eat any part of this plant. Seeds are sold for propagation only. Keep away from children, pets, and livestock.

Small-batch seed lots are gathered, cleaned, processed, and packed by Josh at Base Camp North with help from a few friends in Pennsylvania.

Common Milkweed Seeds (Asclepias syriaca)

Asclepias syriaca

$5.99

Grow Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), a native perennial wildflower and an important host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars. Common Milkweed produces clusters of fragrant pink to mauve flowers that attract a variety of pollinators. Established plants spread through underground rhizomes and can develop into colonies, making the species particularly useful for larger native gardens, meadow plantings, pollinator habitat, and wildlife areas. Milkweed is an important component of monarch habitat because monarch caterpillars feed on milkweed plants. Seed Details: - Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) - 2026 harvest - Cleaned and processed by Base Camp North - Untreated seeds - Seed-grown plants may naturally vary - Sold for propagation Growing Information: Common Milkweed seed generally benefits from cold, moist stratification before spring planting. Seeds can also be fall-sown outdoors where natural winter conditions provide stratification. Common Milkweed can spread once established and should be planted where its colony-forming growth habit is appropriate. No specific germination percentage is guaranteed. Seeds are sold for propagation and are not intended for consumption. 🎁 FREE MILKWEED SEEDS WITH EVERY ORDER! Every Base Camp North order includes a FREE packet of 25 Common Milkweed Seeds (Asclepias syriaca). Help support monarch butterflies, pollinators, and native wildlife habitat—one planting at a time.
