Fourteen-species monarch and butterfly garden mix
Butterfly Milkweed for monarch caterpillars, plus thirteen colorful nectar and garden flowers for adult butterflies, changing color, and season-long movement.
Bring On the Butterflies™ is a 14-species monarch and butterfly garden mix designed to support the garden from two directions: Butterfly Milkweed provides a larval host plant for monarch caterpillars, while coneflower, blazing star, asters, zinnias, cosmos, marigold, and companion blooms provide varied flower forms and nectar opportunities for adult butterflies and other pollinators. Annual flowers can supply quick first-season color; perennial members establish more slowly and can strengthen the garden in later seasons.
What you’re planting
What to Expect
This is a changing garden, not fourteen flowers blooming at once. Faster annuals may provide much of the first-season color, while Butterfly Milkweed and other perennials can take longer to establish and may flower in later seasons. Bloom sequence, germination, and winter survival vary with climate, weather, soil preparation, and care.
How to Plant
Remove weeds and competing growth, loosen the soil surface, and mix the bag before and during sowing so differently sized seeds stay distributed. Broadcast evenly over exposed soil, press firmly for seed-to-soil contact, and do not bury deeply. Keep the seedbed consistently moist through germination and early establishment. Mixing the seed with dry sand, vermiculite, or another clean carrier is optional but helpful for even coverage.
