Save the Monarchs! Monarchs cannot survive without milkweed; their caterpillars only eat milkweed plants, and the butterflies need milkweed to lay their eggs. Planting milkweed is a great way to help other pollinators too, as they provide valuable nectar resources to a diverse suite of bees and butterflies.
