Milkweed is a truly magical plant and not really a weed at all but an important link in ecosystems that support biodiversity, especially including Monarch butterflies. A good informative piece about gardening with milkweed plants is here. Happy DIY Home is the parent of this article and a great source for gardeners concerned about conserving native species.
