Looking for a true powerhouse pollinator plant? Look no further than Milkweed! This Ohio native plant is the host plant for the entire monarch lifecycle and it supports multiple other pollinators as well. Watch this video with Noelle, Horticulturist, and Education Manager with Petitti Garden Centers, to learn more about growing Milkweed for Monarchs. She covers the best way to care for the three different types we grow, Common Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca), Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), and Butterfly Weed (Asclepias tuberosa). Plus, she shares some additional native perennials that pollinators love!

I’m in 100% clay & it’s a chore getting most types of milkweed established. Like the video mentions, amend the soil too much with organic material & you’ll burn them up. If you leave them in the clay, you won’t get the desired drainage & you’ll drown em. Finally finding success through mounding & making sure to use recycled, average soil. Am going to try a mass plant, next year, in pots

I plant 1 plant about 2 years ago. The orange kind. Monarchs stripped it the1st year. I just let them come upwhere ever they want to. I have 10 plants now. The leaves grow back.❤

Showy and pretty back edger! You have convinced me to give Milkweed maybe Cinderella a try in the garden,. Thank you for all of your information and mentioning what to plant with milkweed is great to know, Noelle.

My milkweed is always covered in aphids. Does that hurt the the caterpillars?

@espiefermina8379 Год назад

Thank you for the great info. I wish you would have mentioned that milkweed attracts aphids, but do the monarch still lay eggs on aphid laden milkweed? Thank you.

Gosh I wish I had your knowledge! Just recently discovered you and have been binge watching your older videos. Your a wealth of knowledge is wonderful and even though I have gardened and sold at many venues for over 25 years I find myself still thirsting for everything I can learn... everyday. Thanks again 😎

@CamsCreatures

What is the difference between milk weed and milk thistle? We have milk thistle with monarchs.

Great presentation on Milkweed!!

Love milkweed and have been adding the better behaved varieties to my gardens, since the standard type grows wild. Swamp milkweed is about to bloom and I can’t wait 🤩 I’m eventually trying to add every variety that will grow well here. Thanks for spotlighting this valuable (beautiful!) native plant!

Thanks Noelle for the valuable info...especially about Ohio. I'm planting "commons" from seed. Winter has been fairly warm here so keeping them in the fridge for couple months, then into the ground.
