Description: Plant one for the Monarchs! Planting milkweed is something that home gardeners can do to help restore Monarch butterfly populations threatened by habitat loss. Not invasive in the garden setting but the plants look awesome in bold groupings. Monarchs lay their eggs on this host plant and the caterpillars feed on it - all of which is highly encouraged (the plants will grow back even if the Monarch caterpillars eat all of the above-ground parts).
