Create beauty, connect with nature, and give monarchs and other pollinators just what they need: host spaces and nectar sources. We've made it easy for you to turn a corner of your yard into a drought-tolerant Monarch Magnet with this curated butterfly garden.
15 plants (3 each of 5 different native varieties) will come back every year welcoming the butterflies and providing botanical interest for you. Some also make great cut flowers!
Pre-planned Monarch Garden Kit with 15 Native Plants
Each kit contains:
3: Asclepias Syriaca /Common Milkweed
3: Eupatorium coelestinum /Mistflower
3: Rudbeckia triloba /Brown Eyed Susan
3: Asclepias tuberosa /Butterfly Weed
3: Aster laevis /Smooth Blue Aster
Directions and a suggested garden plan are also included. Plants are "DP" (deep) plugs, which are 5" deep with established root systems and ready to go into the ground. This plug size disturbs less soil than quart size plants and will establish quickly! This kit is recommended for sites in full sun-part sun, with a minimum of 6 hours sunlight.
We will email you when the kits are ready for pickup at our Saturday Farm Market Stand or Delivery (free) within the city of Charlottesville, likely the second week in April.
