If you're in the northeast, plant swamp milkweed and common milkweed. They bloom very nice flowers, are native, and they are two of the only two plants monarch butterflies will use. They are the two main ones they use, as far as I understand. I am not sure where else they are native, but you should look it up.
You will not find an easier plant to grow. They basically require no attention and will flourish in native soil. Bees and other pollinators also love them.
