Become a Milkweed Master!
- Why is milkweed so important? Native milkweed is the one and only plant that monarchs can lay their eggs on because it is the only plant their larvae and caterpillars can eat! Unfortunately, no other plant will do for monarch caterpillars.
- Monarchs need you to grow milkweed that is native to your area. Native plants are best suited to the weather of your region and are the best food sources for your native pollinators!
- Check the map below from the US Forest Service to find out which milkweed to plant in your garden. Call your local nurseries or native plant societies to find out where to get plants and when to plant them!

Plant a Pollinator Garden!
Native milkweed is a must have in your garden as we #Move4Monarchs. But other native, flowering plants are important too! Monarch larvae and caterpillars need milkweed to grow and transform but adult monarchs need to eat all kinds of green things. While making their impressive migration, monarch butterflies eat the nectar of a wide variety of native flowering plants. That’s where you come in!
