Tips for a milkweed monarch butterfly garden

Question

Hello, I am a beginner gardener and I am planting a monarch butterfly garden for a nearby school. I was wondering if you had any tips for growing and maintaining milkweeds in the springtime. I live in a zone 7/8 area so I am not sure what types of milkweeds I should get. I was also wondering if you had any suggested plants that I should add to my garden to ensure its efficiency. Thank you for your time!

Answer 1

A Monarch Waystation would be nice. These include milkweeds as well as nectar plants for the butterflies.
