We have the plants you need to create a pollinator planting. This week we are featuring two milkweeds appropriate for the perennial garden. Milkweed is the ONLY plant the Monarch butterfly will lay eggs on and is the ONLY source of food for baby larvae. Help feed the caterpillars by adding this to your garden picture. If you are lucky to have the wild native milkweed, please leave some growing for the butterflies.- Asclepias incarnata 'Cinderella' / Swamp Milkweed. 'Cinderella' is a lovely deep pink selection of native swamp milkweed. It is shorter and does not spread. Very fragrant and makes an excellent cut flower. We have some big, beautiful plants that are ready to flower.
- Asclepias tuberosa / Orange Butterfly Milkweed is shorter and very pretty -- also food source for the young larvae.
Ten years ago, the U.S. Senate designated a week in June as 'National Pollinator Week' marking a necessary step toward addressing the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations. Pollinator Week has grown into a an international celebration of the valuable ecosystem services provided by butterflies, bees, birds, bats and beetles. Invite pollinators to your neighborhood by planting a pollinator friendly habitat in your garden, on your deck, at your school or park, or just about anywhere. |
