Trust us, this isn't just another "weed".Herbaceous Common Milkweed is absolutely critical to the healthy growth of these instantly recognizable black and orange butterflies. The eggs are laid on Common Milkweed plants to give caterpillars a ready food source.This robust native plant acts as a clarion call for beneficial pollinators of all kinds, in fact.

A stand of these important native plants adds a showy, rough texture all season long.The fragrant blooms are held in attractive spherical umbels composed of a hundred or more tiny true flowers. Intricate purple, pink and white blooms will be covered in butterflies and honey bees for several months each summer.A strongly vertical main stem is softened with broad, thick leaves on either side. Light green on top, the underside is grayish-green with red veins.Common Milkweed has been utilized to make fibrous cord, food, and even medicine through the years across the United States. But today, its value to Monarch butterflies makes it a staple for consideration.The butterflies lay their eggs on the soft underside of these leaves, which contain natural cardiac glycosides or cardenolides. Nature's chemicals provide protection for the vulnerable caterpillars and make them distasteful to most predators.Lack of habitat threatens the Monarch butterfly's migration paths. Tucking even a small planting dedicated to Common Milkweed in a sunny spot will really help boost their numbers.Common Milkweed is native to North America and thrives in a wide array of conditions, including disturbed soil.

We are so proud to offer high-quality American wildflowers in our vast online catalog.Even smaller gardens can help bring support for your local ecology. Although this species variety does grow vigorously, there is a way to use it on suburban lots.Look for an area that receives lots of light each day to plan out your Butterfly Garden. Perhaps that is in your front yard or a forgotten side yard.The key to using wildflowers in a "tame" environment is to pay attention to the finished edges. Invest in locally sourced quarry materials to edge your planned garden beds.Once symmetrical planting beds are filled to bursting with vibrant flowering wildflowers, they become a dramatic study in contrasts. Install a formal frame around your wildly riotous blooming "living painting".In urban areas, why not create an outdoor sign that explains the goals of your planting? Bolt a plasma-cut metal butterfly sculpture to a study column set in concrete for a long-lasting ornament that won't fly away.Some funky neighborhoods are a little more free-form. There, add a wide curved bed that follows the lay of your land.

Keep binoculars in a weatherproof box, along with a special notebook to write down your daily sightings.You can easily see why kids might get excited about this endeavor.
