Make a big impact for local wildlife with the Bulk Butterfly Garden.

By ordering this collection, you will receive four 32-plant trays (128 plants total) featuring three powerhouse native species specifically curated to provide everything monarchs and other butterflies need to thrive. This selection includes Orange Butterfly Milkweed (64 plants), Smooth Blue Aster (32 plants), and Grayleaf Goldenrod (32 plants), offering both a vital food source for monarch caterpillars and nectar-rich blooms for adults.

This collection is designed to bloom across multiple seasons, delivering vibrant color and ecological benefits from late spring through fall. From the brilliant mid-summer blooms of Orange Butterfly Milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa) to the late-season vibrant yellows of Grayleaf Goldenrod (Solidago nemoralis) and the deep blues of Smooth Blue Aster (Symphyotrichum laeve), you will provide a critical lifeline for migrating monarchs and local pollinators.

Key Features:

• Monarch Habitat: Provides milkweed for caterpillars and high-quality nectar for adult Monarchs, ensuring support throughout their entire life cycle.
• Three-Season Blooms: A curated mix of species ensures continuous pollinator activity and garden color from late spring through fall.
• Wildlife Support: While focused on butterflies, these plants also attract and support native bees, birds, and other beneficial insects.
• Low Maintenance & Deer Resistant: Once established, these resilient species thrive with minimal care and stand up to deer browsing.
• Pollinator-Safe: Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids, promoting a healthy, safe ecosystem for all wildlife.

Why Choose the Bulk Butterfly Garden?

The Bulk Butterfly Garden is the most efficient way to establish a large-scale pollinator paradise. Planting in large drifts allows butterflies to forage efficiently, making your garden a major destination for local species. Whether you are filling a large sunny border, a wildflower meadow, or a dedicated pollinator haven, this collection provides the density needed to make a lasting ecological impact. By choosing this bulk set, you are restoring biodiversity and creating a sanctuary that returns year after year.

Planting Tips:

1. Location: Plant in full sun with well-drained soil.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish deep roots. Once established, these native plants require less supplemental water.
3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as the seed heads provide food for birds. Leave the stems standing in the fall to provide overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.
