In this in-depth portrait of the monarch butterfly—covering its life cycle, its remarkable relationship with milkweed, its extraordinary migration, and the threats it now faces due to habitat loss and climate change—detailed instructions on how to design and create monarch-friendly landscapes are enriched by guidance on observing and understanding butterfly behavior and habits. Following the model of their previous best-selling book, 100 Plants to Feed the Bees , the Xerces Society provides at-a-glance profiles of the plant species that provide monarchs with nourishment. The plants, which are all commercially available, range from dozens of species of milkweed—the only food of monarch caterpillars—to numerous flowering plants, shrubs, and trees that provide nectar for the adult butterfly, including those that bloom in late season and sustain monarchs in their great migration. Gorgeous photographs of monarchs and plants, plus illustrations, maps, and garden plans, make this a visually engaging guide. Review: Well written, great information - This is a great book, I bought a second copy for a friend. Review: Monarch butterflies require the Milkweed plant to complete their lifecycle. - The only plant that supports the Monarch's life cycle is the Milkweed. Many other plants listed in this book support the butterflies with food (nectar} and there are a few different Milkweed plants that can be used to support the Monarch's cycle from egg to caterpillars to chrysalis to butterfly. It's a very informative read if you are considering raising the caterpillars & releasing the butterflies. It involves an investment of your time but is worthwhile to save the pollinator's that complete the growth cycle of most of our fruits & vegetables that we all require to maintain proper nutrition. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #118,472 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #19 in Biology of Butterflies #146 in Gardening Encyclopedias #214 in Environmentalism | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 224 Reviews | ## Images ![100 Plants to Feed the Monarch: Create a Healthy Habitat to Sustain North America's Most Beloved Butterfly - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91DaJtphvXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written, great information *by E***T on August 22, 2025* This is a great book, I bought a second copy for a friend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Monarch butterflies require the Milkweed plant to complete their lifecycle. *by S***Y on August 1, 2025* The only plant that supports the Monarch's life cycle is the Milkweed.

"100 Plants to Feed the Monarch" is NOT an overstatement. The book identifies the plants, the conditions where they grow best, where they are native, and where not. Pictures are gorgeous! I've known that milkweed is required for healthy monarchs, but I didn't know how many other plants also contribute to keeping them healthy and productive. The book identifies 34 milkweed varieties and where they may be found. It also includes another 66 Nectar plants. I love my plants but until now did not realize how many of the plants already in my garden are nectar or host plants for Monarchs and other butterflies! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/290084522-100-plants-to-feed-the-monarch-create-a-healthy-habitat](https://www.desertcart.us/products/290084522-100-plants-to-feed-the-monarch-create-a-healthy-habitat) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
