Milkweed for Monarchs (Ice Ballet) Garden Banner 12" x 18"

Did you know that by growing native milkweed in a sunny area in your garden you can help to support the life cycle of the Monarch butterfly? Monarchs lay their eggs on the leaves of the milkweed plant, the emerging caterpillars eat the leaves, and the full grown butterflies rely on the nectar of the milkweed blossom as fuel during migration periods. This makes Milkweed – whether orange, purple or white – a crucial host plant that is essential for the continued survival of the now endangered Monarch butterfly. 

If you're growing – or planning to grow – milkweed for Monarchs, inspire others to do the same by sharing your pollinator supporting intentions with the "Milkweed for Monarchs" garden banner. Metal flag pole is not included, but it is available for purchase in the Garden Decor section of our shop.

Made with lightweight yet highly durable poly poplin-canvas fabric, these banners feel premium to the touch and can grace your home for years on end.

Pollinator Partnership: Giving Back

10% of each sale of the "Milkweed for Monarchs" garden banner – a Duck Petals exclusive design – will be donated to help further the efforts of pollinator stewardship, education and program initiatives via Pollinator Partnership, a 501(c)(3) charity based in San Francisco, CA.

Pollinator Partnership is the largest organization working to protect the health of managed and native pollinating animals vital to North American ecosystems and agriculture. 

"Gardeners can play an important role in establishing habitat and connectivity for monarchs along their migratory pathways. By planting native milkweed and other nectar plants, you can support monarch breeding and fuel the monarch’s journey to and from their overwintering grounds. Check out Pollinator Partnership’s plant selection resources for ideas of what to plant to support monarchs and other pollinators." – pollinator.org/monarch
