Description

Monarch Magic Floss Flower is a compact annual prized for its spreading, mounded habit and profuse periwinkle-blue to lavender, floss-like flower clusters that bloom reliably from spring through summer. Exceptionally pollinator-friendly, it draws monarch butterflies in droves and is low-maintenance, often requiring little to no deadheading and tolerating heat and moderate drought. This cultivar earned the 2024 Colorado State University Outstanding Plants award, underscoring its horticultural merit.

Spreading, low‑mounded growth habit ideal for edging, containers, and mixed plantings
Exceptional butterfly magnet—especially for monarchs—even outperforming other nectar plants
Heat‑tolerant and low maintenance; typically doesn’t require deadheading, and handles moderate drought well
