Asclepias incarnata (Rose Swamp Milkweed)

Want to attract more butterflies? Enjoy 3 months of vanilla scented rose pink flowers and you’ll be on your way to hosting a butterfly nursery. Swamp Milkweed is an easy care perennial. It has narrower leaves with a more refined texture than common milkweed and doesn’t spread by underground runners with ambitions for world domination, instead it spreads only through self- seeding making it a more garden friendly option. As the name suggests it can handle boggy conditions, but can easily adapt to normal garden conditions in full sun. The flowers are a rich source of nectar and pollen screaming ‘come hither’ to hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. Completely non-invasive… you can safely add this North American native to your garden.
