Van Zyverden Butterfly Milkweed Patio Kit with Decorative Rattan Planter, Planting Medium and 3 Plant Roots Orange Full Sun Fragrant 8 lb

If you have limited space, no garden at all or just prefer container gardening, this kit is made for you! Container gardening makes it easy to care for your plants. As long as you have space on your porch, deck, patio or balcony for a medium-sized container, you can garden. Our transition styled decorative rattan planter (sized 12" x 12" x 16") comes with a hard-shell inner plastic growing pot, bag of medium, planting stock, gardening gloves and growing directions. Butterfly weed features bright orange flower clusters and lance-shaped leaves. Popular native plant. This specific variety is the most drought tolerant of all. Milkweed attracts monarch butterflies that use the plant as a source for nectar. Monarch butterflies lay eggs on the plant, and in turn, the resulting larvae (caterpillars) use the plant leaves as a food source. Butterfly magnet! Plant this perennial in a location with full sun.

• First, decide where the planted will be located and if you want the pot needs drainage. Proper drainage is key if you are placing the planter outside. If placing outside, remove the drainage plug(s) from the bottom. Then empty about 85% of the medium bag into the pot. Firm and smooth the planting medium. Next, place the bulb(s)/root(s) onto the soil, centering it/them, spreading the root(s) out (if roots) and then add remaining medium on top. Water well, saturating the soil deeply. Continue to saturate soil for first few days then water as need. Sit back and let mother nature do its thing!
