Sustain the Migration Kit by Native American Seed offers a hands-on way to help protect Monarch butterflies and support their epic migration. This specially curated kit includes everything you need to grow five varieties of native milkweed—essential plants for Monarch larvae to thrive.
What's Inside:
- 5 native milkweed seed packets: Antelope Horns, Green Milkweed, Butterfly Weed, Showy Milkweed, and Swamp Milkweed.
- Detailed planting instructions from the farm.
- Horticultural vermiculite for cold stratification, which enhances seed germination.
Why It Matters: Monarch butterflies undertake a multi-generational journey spanning from Mexico to Canada and back, relying on native milkweed to lay their eggs along the way. By planting milkweed, you can help sustain this critical migration.
How it Works: Monarch larvae feed on milkweed leaves for about three weeks before transforming into a chrysalis. Within two or three weeks, an adult butterfly emerges, ready to continue the journey. By planting these milkweeds, you are playing a crucial role in supporting Monarch populations and safeguarding their future.
Take action now and become part of the conservation effort to ensure the survival of the Monarch butterfly’s magnificent migration.
