| My question is: Will any variety of Milkweed (Asclepias) serve as a host plant for the Monarch butterfly or does it have to be Butterfly Milkweed ( (Asclepias tuberosa)? My location is Daytona Beach FL - Zone 9 |

| Any type of milkweed will work! I've grown Tropical Milkweed (Asclepias curassavica) and the Monarch's lay eggs and then the Cat's feed on the leaves: ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |
