Milkweed

A must have for pollinator garden, Milkweed is a hardy, native perennial beloved for its clusters of colorful blooms and vital role in supporting monarch butterflies. With flowers ranging from soft pinks to vibrant oranges and reds, milkweed attracts butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects all season long. Its tall, upright habit and striking seed pods added texture and movement to garden beds, borders, and wildflower meadows. 

Milkweed is the primary host plant for monarch caterpillars and provides nectar to many other pollinators, making it one of the most important native plants you can grow.
