Large, spherical clusters of fragrant pink flowers serve as the critical larval host for Monarch butterflies, making this a must-have for any pollinator garden. This vigorous native spreads to form colonies, providing essential habitat and nectar for a wide range of insects.

Plant common milkweed in well-drained soil with full sun exposure. Space plants 18-24 inches apart. Water regularly until established, then reduce frequency as milkweed is drought-tolerant. Prune in late fall or early spring to encourage new growth. Watch for pests like aphids and remove them manually or with insecticidal soap.
