When the monarch butterflies arrive in my area (Yarmouth, Nova Scotia) they are most attracted to the verbena bonariensis. They feed there and move to the milkweed to lay eggs. These are a self-sowing annual and occasional perennial in my zone 6B garden and bloom from early summer until winter...a beautiful and beneficial addition to any garden!
