Milkweed Tropical Silky Gold 6" Pot

Dainty flowers stand tall on this leafy plant. Use in your butterfly garden since Milkweed species are the only host plants for monarch butterflies; which means it's the only plant species that monarch butterflies will lay their eggs on and the only plant species monarch caterpillars will consume. We highly recommend completely cutting back Tropical Milkweed around November to help with monarch migration. Come early March, feel free to fertilize to promote new growth. From spring to fall, if caterpillars consume the entire plant, cut back to encourage new growth.

Pairs well with any butterfly-loving flower

Plant with Black Gold Garden Compost and Espoma's Bio-Tone
