Hello I’m in Brisbane & was hoping to plant some of these to attract some butterflies for my kids to experience. When would I plant these? Do they attract the monarch butterfly as I don’t see a lot of them around our place.

Hello Sheridan
You can sow seeds anytime in Brisbane. Yes, they do as you can see in the pictures. Caterpillars love to eat their leaves. Some years were quiet. Some years had 2-10 butterflies. I notice that the butterflies come around when the weather start warm and the flowers start to bloom.

Hi Sandra
At the moment Melbourne weather is quiet cold and frost. The seeds maybe hard to germinate. The better time is spring through mid autumn. You can sow seeds in tray and transplant or direct to where you want them grown in the garden with well drained soil. Make sure to keep the soil moist to promote germination. Hope a bit help🙂
