Description:
Asclepias incarnata, commonly known as swamp milkweed, is a native perennial with fragrant, bright pink and white blooms. It serves as a host plant for Monarch caterpillars and thrives in moist conditions, making it ideal for rain gardens. This plant is hardy in USDA zones 3 to 6 and grows up to 4-5 feet tall. Its bitter milky sap deters deer and rabbits, and it attracts Monarch butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees.
