Milkweed Giant Purple 10" Pot

If your monarch caterpillars have a giant appetite, then try the giant milkweed. 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 giant 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.

Plant with Black Gold Ultra Outdoor Soil and Espoma's Bio-Tone
