Cynanchum laeve
About
Cynanchum laeve is a vining perennial herb native to eastern and central U.S. states and Ontario. Common names include sand vine, honeyvine, honeyvine milkweed, bluevine milkweed, climbing milkweed, and smooth swallow-wort. The root system of C. laeve can cause it to be very difficult to eradicate, especially in agricultural fields. It is a larval food of monarch butterflies and milkweed tussock moth larvae. C. laeve can cause eye irritation if touched and can be toxic to humans and livestock if consumed in large quantities.

How to use it
Honeyvine can be used in gardens to attract monarch butterflies and other pollinators, enhancing biodiversity. However, be cautious, as its aggressive growth can make it difficult to manage. It's important to monitor its spread to prevent it from overtaking other plants.
