Common Milkweed has declined sharply in recent decades. This decline is largely due to suburban expansion and the widespread use of highly effective herbicides associated with herbicide-tolerant genetically modified crops. The plant spreads easily by seed and underground rhizomes, and its deep taproot helps it tolerate drought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"430\" data-end=\"1310\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eOne of the quickest and easiest milkweed species to establish, Common Milkweed can be planted even in small urban spaces, offering both personal enjoyment and meaningful support for threatened monarch populations.
