Asclepias incarnata

Swamp Milkweed

Sweetly scented clusters of Marsh Milkweed's rose-pink flowers bloom in summer. All kinds of pollinators find the nectar of Marsh Milkweed irresistable and monarch larvae feed on the foliage. Marsh Milkweed is found along streams and ponds and in wet meadows. Great in rain gardens.

Fragrant summer blooms attract butterflies
Native of shorelines and moist sites
