Two weeks ago I started my first butterfly garden. I'm starting with 4 plants and then will branch out. Scarlet Milkweed is an easy plant to start with. Monarchs love it and it serves as a host (larva eat it) and nectar (butterflies) plant.
We also planted Pinata Lavender, Lantana Spreading (white) and Pentas (red).

Hey Matt - Sherman.
My mom's farm in Iowa is a bi-annual stopping ground for the Monarch migration. No planting required. Good luck and more pictures please! Amanda loves Flowers!
