Description
Swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) produces clusters of fragrant, pink flowers in mid to late summer atop 3- to 5-foot-tall stems. This US native naturally grows in moist to wet soil but can adapt to average garden conditions. Like common milkweed (A. syriaca), swamp milkweed serves as a food source for monarch butterfly larvae, which feed on the leaves. The flowers also attract a variety of adult butterflies, as well as other pollinators. Unlike common milkweed, swamp milkweed tends to stay in distinct clumps, so it can be a good option for smaller gardens. These seeds are from plants growing wild in my meadow in Bucks County, PA. Full sun. Perennial; Zones 3 to 8 or 9.
Collected in late September and early October 2023. At least 20 seeds. PA ecotype. Shipping to US addresses only.
