Annuals Quickstart Guide for Monarch Butterflies

How to Grow Annuals Fast to Attract and Support Monarchs…this season!

Sometimes when I tell people we’ve had 60 butterflies fluttering around our garden at one time, I can sense that they don’t quite believe what I’m saying…but I understand their reluctance. It was seeing one of these amazing monarch spectacles for myself that awoke my burning passion for butterfly gardening.

After starting our Monarch Butterfly Garden in 2009, it hasn’t taken long to achieve spectacular results. Not only has our garden attracted more monarchs, it’s also attracted a bounty of beneficial pollinators including swallowtails, red admirals, painted ladies, and honey bees…even hyper-winged hummingbirds!

After raising monarchs for over 45 years and butterfly gardening for the past 15, I realized there were some less common gardening ideas that were bringing more monarchs to our back yard than I had ever dreamed…and they could do the same for your butterfly garden!

However, the monarch attracting techniques I was using weren’t the same-old general ideas found floating across the interverse. I had learned them from years of first-hand experience with monarchs, and from talking to other adventurous butterfly gardeners, who weren’t afraid to try new things in a climate-changing world.

In the Annuals Quickstart Guide for Monarch Butterflies ( a digital PDF annuals for monarchs eBook), I reveal fast and easy milkweed growing tips that allow us to reliably host first spring monarch to the final fall migrator…whether you garden for monarchs, raise butterflies, or both!

After reading this annuals quickstart guide, my goal is for you to always have a garden landscape filled with monarchs!
