This classic species, an important larval host for the iconic monarch butterfly, is facing population declines in the wild due to human factors such as development and herbicide-dependent agriculture. Despite its decline, common milkweed boasts a number of benefits. It is resistant to deer and drought, it can establish quickly in dry sandy soils, and it attracts many types of pollinators as well as birds. Do your part to help the monarch butterfly by including this beautiful species in your dry planting.
