Monarchs don’t just need milkweed — they need a landscape that supports the full arc of their lives. This mix pairs three milkweed species with a diverse array of native grasses, coneflowers, asters, and blazing stars that provide nectar across the entire season. Every species was selected because it belongs here, and because something depends on it.
