Monrovia Cinderella Milkweed
Best hardy perennial for eco conscious gardeners supporting local monarch populations.
This is the rare pollinator magnet that actually behaves itself in the garden, offering a tidy, upright structure instead of the usual wild sprawl. It thrives in standard soil but truly shines in damp, boggy spots where most other perennials would simply rot away.
