planting several varieties to increase your odds of seeing (and supporting) magnificent monarchs… For most in the US and Canada, the best time to find monarch eggs on milkweed leaves is June through August, while adult butterflies can be seen from April through October. Here are 30 varieties of this herbaceous perennial to consider for your butterfly garden… Milkweed Plant Ideas for Monarch Caterpillars, Butterflies and Pollinators
If your state is in a milkweed species’ native region, conditions are typically favorable for growing healthy plants. Research potential issues for your area before planting non-native milkweed.

Tweedia is a vining milkweed with pretty blue flowers, and skinny seed pods that resemble tropical milkweed.

(The former botanical name for this milkweed is Oxypetalum caeruleum.)
