Star Wars Garden Gnome Lots Of Milkweed, Lots Of Monarchs!

Very excited to run into lots of monarch butterfly caterpillars - to a greater extent than than e'er earlier - on the diverse milkweeds growing inward the garden this year!

Monarch cats on Asclepias viridis (spider milkweed)

Monarch truthful cat on Asclepias incarnata (rose milkweed)

Monarch cats on Asclepias syriaca (common milkweed... I didn't institute this one, it showed upward final year, together with this twelvemonth has multiplied into 3 stems... I know it's got a somewhat aggressive reputation, simply clearly it's a big striking amongst the monarch cats, together with when it bloomed final year, I was bowled over yesteryear the incredible floral fragrance!)

All 3 of these milkweeds are native to Tennessee.

I promise to add together 2 to a greater extent than to the garden eventually - A. purpurascens (purple milkweed) together with A. tuberosa (butterflyweed).

What are your best butterfly host plants?
