(Annual Milkweed) It’s all about the monarch butterflies! Asclepias ‘Monarch’s Banquet’ features green foliage edged in cream and dusty pink. Standing 20-36 inches tall and spreading up to 18 inches wide, ‘Monarch’s Banquet’ forms an upright habit. From mid-summer until fall, large clusters of red, orange, and yellow blooms appear creating a real treat for the pollinators. Hardy in zones 9-11, this annual milkweed provides foliage and flower color nearly all summer until the first frost. Asclepias ‘Monarch’s Banquet’ is a host plant for Monarch Butterflies. The foliage is where the Monarch eggs are laid, soon to be followed by the food source for the caterpillars. Once the butterflies emerge, the flowers provide sweet nectar as a food source. Every butterfly garden should have an assortment of Asclepias if you are looking to attract Monarchs to your garden. Asclepias ‘Monarch’s Banquet’ makes a beautiful specimen or plant in mass for an array of colors in your garden.
