Ball FloraPlant has introduced Ageratum Monarch Magic to garden retail in 2025, and the plant is already drawing attention for its connection to migrating Monarch Butterflies. To document this pollinator activity, the company has launched an online photo contest, the 2025 Monarch Magic Sweepstakes.
The sweepstakes runs until Wednesday, October 1, 2025, and is open to both the general public and the horticultural industry. Participants are encouraged to submit photos or videos of Monarch Butterflies on or around Ageratum Monarch Magic plants.
Entries can be submitted in three ways: tagging @ball.floraplant in butterfly-related posts on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn; uploading images in the comments of Ball FloraPlant's sweepstakes posts on its social media channels; or submitting photos directly through an online form at the link here.
Stephanie Vincenti, Marketing Manager for Ball FloraPlant, stated that the contest is designed to highlight the connection between Monarch Butterflies and Ageratum Monarch Magic, while offering participants the opportunity to win one of three $100 Visa gift cards through random selection.
