Honeyvine Milkweed (Cynanchum laeve): Monarch Host or Garden Weed?

This vine has heart-shaped leaves and milkweed-like seeds with silky tails. It's a monarch host but produces abundant seed, making it weedy. Scientific names: Cynanchum laeve (current) or Ampelamus albidus (older). Decide whether its wildlife value outweighs its spreading habit.
