Hi butterfly friends,
I am trying to make room in my tiny Brooklyn NY backyard for some milkweed. Love the heart-shaped leaves and purple flowers of A. cordifolia, and the lovely purple flowers of A. speciosa, which both seem to be West coast natives.
I have come across conflicting information whether milkweeds found outside of the natural migratory path of the monarch colony ( either east of Rockies or west of Rockies) are suitable.
Can anyone growing milkweed on the East coast confirm whether A. cordifolia or A. speciosa work well as monarch food & nectar?
Thanks everyone!
