Welcome Monarch butterflies to your yard by planting Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca). This robust perennial is a must-have for the everyday gardener looking to support local pollinators. Growing 3 to 5 feet tall, it thrives in full sun and rewards you with beautifully fragrant, dusty-pink flower clusters. To get roots established quickly, mix Bone Meal directly into the planting hole.

Feed the soil in early spring with All Purpose Plant Food to encourage vigorous new growth before the summer heat arrives. In zones 7 and 8, you will appreciate that the naturally bitter, milky sap makes this plant highly resistant to foraging deer and rabbits. Keep the soil evenly moist during the first year, and spread a thick layer of Watters Premium Mulch around the base. This retains crucial moisture, suppresses weeds, and keeps roots cool. Enjoy the wonderful journey of watching caterpillars transform right in your own backyard!
