Why plant milkweed

Those majestic monarch butterflies you love to watch? They need milkweed to survive. Monarch caterpillars are picky—they are adapted to eat milkweed as they develop, and it’s the only the plant that does the job.

As more and more land is developed on Long Island, monarchs are losing vital habitat where natural milkweed populations once flourished.

That’s why they need you to plant milkweed. Your backyard could be the haven monarchs need to safely transform into butterflies.
