A Wetland Native for Pollinators and Subtle Beauty

 

Enhance your garden with Asclepias perennis, commonly known as Aquatic Milkweed. This moisture-loving native perennial thrives in wetland and garden settings, providing essential support for pollinators and a touch of understated elegance.

 

  • Delicate Blooms: Pale pink to white clusters of flowers bloom throughout summer, adding soft color and charm.
  • Compact Growth: Reaches widths of 1–2 feet, ideal for rain gardens, pond edges, or moist flower beds.
  • Pollinator Support: Attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, and serves as a host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars.
  • Moisture-Loving: Thrives in consistently moist to wet soils and tolerates occasional standing water. Prefers partial shade but can adapt to full sun with adequate moisture. Hardy in USDA Zones 6–9.
  • Low-Maintenance Native: A reliable choice for naturalized plantings and areas with high soil moisture.

 

Asclepias perennis is an excellent choice for gardeners looking to support pollinators while beautifying wet or shaded spaces.
