Lots of butterflies on our Joe Pye weed. Mostly Tiger swallowtails but also a lone Monarch! 🦋 #nativeplants #monarchbutterfly #tigerswallowtail #joepyeweed

This looks just like my woods garden, tons of Tigers, but no Monarchs have visited. Haven't seen one all season, SW NC.

A lot of people in my neighborhood grow (and share) milkweed during monarch season…we’ve had an unbelievable amount of monarchs this year and several other types, as well as increasing # of honeybees. Yay!

Gardeners, nature posters … you gotta have your zone/location somewhere in your bio, the post or the alt, please. This happens all the time. Example, I’m interested in this post because my JP weed went off early in my Chicago suburban (6A) garden and I am trying to figure out why. Please, folks

Pretty close to it. Last year I think we had full bloom the first week of August. It was also a lot hotter and dryer here last year. We had a decent spring this year unlike sometimes it goes winter straight to summer!

It's native to a pretty big chunk of the US and Canada.
