I have let common milkweed grow in my garden, and I've also planted some swamp milkweed.
The common milkweed is done flowering, but the swamp milkweed is still very much in bloom.

In the last 2 of weeks, I have had almost daily visits from monarchs. They browse different plants, but mostly gravitate towards the swamp milkweed. Up until today, it was just 1 at a time, but today, there were 2. There have been more monarch sightings in the last two weeks than all last year.
