After three years of no growth, a small patch of milkweed near the edge of my yard regrew this year. I’m hoping the monarchs will find it.

We dedicated a portion of our garden as a pollinator garden with things like a couple different types of milkweed, bee balm, foxglove, etc. We've enjoyed monarchs, bumble bees, and hummingbirds at that garden all season.
