A Moisture-Loving Native for Pollinators and Fragrance
Add color, fragrance, and critical habitat to your garden with Asclepias incarnata, commonly known as Rose Milkweed or Swamp Milkweed. This elegant native perennial thrives in moist soils and is a must-have for pollinator gardens.
- Fragrant Pink Blooms: Clusters of rosy pink flowers bloom from mid to late summer, filling the air with a light, sweet scent.
- Pollinator Essential: A top nectar source for bees and butterflies and a vital host plant for monarch caterpillars.
- Upright & Clumping: Reaches widths of 1–2 feet, with stems growing 3–5 feet tall—perfect for the middle or back of borders.
- Moisture-Loving Native: Thrives in moist to wet soils and performs well in rain gardens, pond edges, and low areas. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–9.
- Sun to Part Shade: Grows best in full sun but tolerates partial shade with adequate moisture.
- Low-Maintenance & Non-Aggressive: Easy to grow and less spreading than other milkweeds, making it garden-friendly.
Perfect for rain gardens, pollinator habitats, and native plantings, Asclepias incarnata delivers beauty, fragrance, and essential ecological value.
