Water softener prices typically range from below $1,000 to almost $10,000. Luckily, the going rate for water softeners is between the $1,000 and $2,500 range, and you can find most of the good quality models at these prices.
Butterfly weed, or milkweed, is a native American wildflower that is at home in both the wild garden and the perennial border, as a flower that attracts hummingbirds and butterflies.

However, the Alternative Crops Research Program at Western Illinois University is currently seeking to add milkweed to the list of agronomic crops grown in the western counties of Illinois.
