Hello! I live in Indianapolis, Indiana. I'm planning on starting a couple of beds of milkweed for butterflies. I have a pretty bad thistle problem. My questions are:

Will the milkweed be able to compete with the thistle? I can't always keep up with the weeding, though I do my best.

Is there a variety of milkweed that's aggressive enough to choke out the thistle? Because that would be awesome and I would plant it everywhere.

Thanks in advance!
