Asclepias incarnata, commonly called Swamp Milkweed, is a herbaceous perennial native to wetlands and moist meadows across North America. It features clusters of fragrant pink to mauve flowers that bloom from mid-summer to early fall, attracting a variety of pollinators, including monarch butterflies. The plant’s long, slender leaves provide a larval food source for monarch caterpillars.
Swamp Milkweed thrives in full sun and wet to moderately dry soils, making it ideal for rain gardens and pond edges. Its deep roots help stabilize soil, while its nectar-rich flowers support pollinators. This plant is both ecologically beneficial and visually appealing, making it a valuable addition to restoration and ornamental landscapes.
