If your garden has been working overtime, but still isn't getting the recognition it deserves from the monarchs, perhaps it's time to bring in Cinderella. Cinderella Butterfly Milkweed is a hard-working native wildflower that produces purple and pink blooms that are attractive to hummingbirds and various pollinators. Not only does it look great, work hard, and attract monarchs, but this Cinderella requires no glass slippers.
