Beware of non-native tropical milkweed
Judy sent me this interesting and important article about Asclepias curassavica (opens in new tab). Apparently, it hosts a parasite to Monarch butterflies and doesn’t always die at the right time in fall, potentially confusing migrating Monarchs. Use the regional native butterfly milkweed (Asclepias tuberosa) instead!
