(Native) Swamp Milkweed - Asclepias incarnata #1

These native Swamp milkweeds don’t really need a swamp! Although they are true to their name and will do great in wet conditions, Asclepias incarnata will also grow well in medium moisture once they are established.

Swamp milkweed is welcome in the butterfly garden setting because it does not spread aggressively like some other milkweeds. It is a perennial and will die back in the fall to return in the spring.
