Swamp Milkweed
Asclepias incarnata |
USDA Zone: 3-6 |
Swamp Milkweed is an exceptional plant for pollinators, attracting Hawk moths, Swallowtail butterflies, Greater Fritillaries, Monarch butterflies, skippers, bumble bees and numerous other nectar-seekers - even an occasional hummingbird. Asclepias incarnata is easily grown in moist to wet soils in full sun, but it also does perfectly well in average well-drained garden soil. The 3'-5' plants form stately clumps with upright stems and long narrow leaves. The clusters of fragrant pink flowers are followed by attractive seed pods for late season interest. The pods split open when ripe releasing silky-haired seeds, easily carried by the wind. Native to Ontario.
