Make your yard into a beautiful monarch habitat! Grow milkweed: the plant that monarchs require to complete their life cycle and supports many more insects and pollinators.

This flat of 36 native milkweed plants is for orders within Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Illinois, eastern Nebraska, select areas in Kansas, select areas in Missouri, and a selection of zip codes in Michigan (49801, 49802, 49858, 49870, 49876, 49938). You can check to see if you live in an area where these plants can be shipped here: Plant Shipping Zones (Zip Code List). To see if your zip code is included in the list of shipping zones, use ctrl-f (or command-f) in your browser to open a search bar on the page to look it up.

Each kit covers a 40-60 square foot area. Best to plant in a sunny area.

Check out the MJV Guide on Creating Gardens for Monarchs and Pollinators HERE for guidance. 

There is a mix of 3 different milkweed species included in the kit (you will get ~12 of each species, for a total of 36 plants), and the plants could be a selection of any of these milkweed species that are native to the upper Midwest (the kits are Growers choice, and the actual contents are decided by MNL when they fulfill the kit):

• Common Milkweed
• Butterfly Milkweed
• Showy Milkweed
• Whorled Milkweed
• Swamp Milkweed

Orders are fulfilled by our partner, Minnesota Native Landscapes.

We recommend adding educational signage to your planting area to help your community learn why they should plant for pollinators!
