Where is Common Milkweed Native?
Anything But Common
Asclepias Syriaca is called “Common,” but is becoming more rare. Please don’t let it become endangered. If you live in any of the above regions, and you don’t see Common Milkweed, you may not see Milkweed Butterflies!
But together, if we grow every native kind of Milkweed, anywhere and everywhere we can, we have a chance to save the Monarch Butterfly… one day at a time!
