Best Answer

North America is the range in which milkweed plants live. The plants in question may be found in Canada, Mexico, and the United States since the genus Asclepias includes a number of species. It therefore supplies its major beneficial insect, Monarch Butterflies (Danaus plexippus), with non-toxic nectar and pollen throughout the lepidopteran's yearly migrations.
