One thing I like to point out for people is that milkweed has the second-most advanced flowers on the planet, following only orchids. They come in a massive variety of colors and shapes, and usually multiple are available in each zone as a native choice, so you have a little flexibility.
Definitely seconding the idea that you need to plant something appropriate for the monarchs that migrate through YOUR area.
