Most butterfly bushes are just a lunch stop, but for monarchs milkweed is a lunch stop with a nursery and a changing table, as monarchs need milkweed to feed their caterpillars. The plant is a little on the homely side but the flowers are gorgeous! I planted one in a tree pit near me, with information for the curious. Heather Y |
