Common Milkweed, a North American native, is a must-have for any garden aiming to support local wildlife. Its clusters of pinkish-purple flowers not only add a splash of color but also serve as a crucial food source for monarch butterflies. This hardy plant attracts a variety of pollinators, including bees and hummingbirds, making it a vital part of the ecosystem. Easy to grow, it thrives in sunny spots and requires minimal care, offering a natural way to boost biodiversity in your backyard.

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.
