I planted a showy milkweed in the fall of 2019. On June 1, 2020, I had Monarch caterpillars on my milkweed! In the fall of 2020, a Monarch stopped by to visit my zinnias. I was thrilled, but worried that there have been so few Monarchs. I noticed that the local nurseries have been out of milkweed stock. I hope that means that everyone is out buying milkweed. The Monarch population is in dire need of our help!
