The Monarch Roll-Out Garden ™ is jam-packed with natives to support not only the Eastern Monarch but other species in the lepidoptera family as well. This garden will not display any blooms during the spring time, however, you can be assured that all of these plants will be providing nourishment to Lepidoptera larvae (caterpillars) and setting these creatures up for success. The plants included are Straight-Species meaning that they will spread and self-seed.
With that said, at the end of the season, you can collect the dried seed heads, place them in a ziploc bag with some slightly moist potting mix, place it in the refridgerator for 6-8 weeks and then sow the seeds in trays, containers, or clean milk-jugs. Use the new starts to plant more around the property or give to friends.
The gardener may want to consider "Chelsea Chopping" certain plants to encourage a more bushier habitat. Chelsea chopping is when you prune the top1/3 of your plant back beginning the week of the Chelsea Flower Show in the UK. This is truly a fun template to learn from with plants that keep on giving.
