Makes a great gift! Support of Monarchs and awareness of their unique connection with Milkweed is on the rise since they were listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. Monarch numbers plummeted due to habitat loss and environmental stress. Milkweeds are the ONLY host plants for the Monarch butterfly; the only place they lay their eggs and the sole food source for hungry caterpillars. This iconic butterfly species exhibits one of the most impressive migrations on earth: a multi-generational voyage that spans nearly the entire width of the North American continent. Boost Monarch populations by planting Milkweed in every garden across the country! A Seed Packet Collection is packaged in a stylish 6.75” x 4.5”, resealable, paper envelope with illustrated depictions of the 6 species inside; beautiful enough to frame!
