 I love seeing butterflies in my garden all through the summer. We have a bike path near our home that’s loaded with Monarch Butterflies in the early fall. I love taking a walk and watching them float from flower to flower.
One of the most important plants for the Monarch is the milkweed plant. If you want to have Monarch Butterflies in your garden plant milkweed. It is the native host for Monarchs, they lay their eggs on the leaves and stems. It’s said the butterflies can smell the milkweed plant from over a mile away. Where can you find milkweed plants? Annie’s Annuals has several varieties of milkweed. Plant it in a pasture, or on a sunny hillside. Plant it and forget it, most milkweed varieties thrive in poor, dry, well-draind soil types. I’ll have more on attracting butterflies and beneficial insects to your garden in the upcoming weeks.
