Project Milkweed Orders Resume for Pollinator Week, New seed blend now available

In celebration of National Pollinator Week (June 22-28), the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) is reopening online ordering for milkweed seeds through its popular Project Milkweed initiative for the fourth year.  As in years past, the program is again offering free seed packets of Red Milkweed and Common Milkweed varieties to Tennessee residents. New this year, however, is a native herb and flower blend, now available for order alongside the Red and Common Milkweed packets. The new blend will include 10 different native plant varieties, including Tennessee’s two state wildflowers, the Passion Flower & Coneflower, as well as Bee Balm and Black-Eyed Susans. All seeds will be available while supplies last and can be ordered online at: https://tnpollinators.org/milkweed.
