Milkweed is often thought of as just a weed. It is however absolutely essential to monarch butterflies in addition to offering beautiful pink and fragrant flowers. This is the only plant on which its caterpillars feed. It does not require much maintenance and it can grow very well in poor soil. It is a must for gardeners who want to contribute to biodiversity
