About Tropical Milkweed

A flowering milkweed species native to the American tropics which is a food source for Monarch butterflies. Note: Research suggests that this plant may disrupt migratory patterns in butterflies when planted in northern United States habitats. I'm working on replacing it with native milkweed variants.
