A Note About Monarch Butterflies

Milkweed is a host plant for monarch caterpillars, but butterfly visits and caterpillar activity depend on local conditions and season. Planting milkweed can support habitat, but it does not guarantee that monarchs will visit.

Important Plant Information

• These are live plants, not seeds.

• Species and cultivar may vary unless a specific variety is confirmed.

• Flower color, mature size, and growth habit depend on the species.

• Milkweed sap can irritate skin and may be harmful if ingested. Keep plants away from children and pets, and wash your hands after handling.

• Before planting, check whether the species is appropriate for your region. Some milkweeds spread readily, and the best choice for monarch habitat depends on local ecology.

Add these young milkweed plants to your outdoor garden and create a welcoming space for pollinators.
