When we’re asked about the best ways to get Monarch butterflies to visit our yards we always start with Milkweed. It’s simple. Sure, Monarchs need more than just Milkweed… but without Milkweed their wouldn’t be anymore Monarchs. Growing Milkweed for Monarchs is the answer.
We would love to chat with you if you have questions about Milkweed. You can reach out to us by simply clicking the link below. Due to the current stay-at-home order in Kansas, we won’t be able to see our customers at the farmers market and plant sales we had originally scheduled for this Spring. Instead, we are taking orders on our website and are currently accepting orders for our second round of deliveries that will go out on Saturday, May 2nd. For more information, and to see what we currently have available and/or to place your own order, please click the Order Plants link below. We appreciate your support for our small business and sharing us with your friends!
Contact Us – Order Plants
If you live outside the Kansas City area, we would recommend ordering plants online from Prairie Moon and/or Prairie Nursery. We have had great experiences with both in the past and would highly recommend each of them.
The weather these next few weeks should be great for planting more Milkweed in our outdoor spaces!
