I've found the swamp milkweed is the only one that attracts monarchs. I've had butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa) in my yard forever but I didn't see any butterflies until I planted the swamp milkweed.
However, the butterfly population varies and some years I see no butterflies. Here's hoping I see at ta few this year!
