Swamp Milkweed Collection
Description
The ‘Swamp Milkweed Collection’ features a trio of long-lived native perennials with pink and white flowers. Asclepias, or Milkweed, are sun loving plants that are essential perennials for monarch butterflies providing food for caterpillars and nectar for adult butterflies. They bloom from mid-summer into early fall and, with their milky sap, are resistant to rabbits and deer. 'Rose' Swamp Milkweed will spread more slowly that its relatives, making it a better candidate to include in traditional perennial garden beds. Milkweed can be slow-growing, and slow to wake up from dormancy in spring, but these long-lived perennials are essential for the survival of monarch butterflies, and long-lived once established! We highly recommend giving these beauties a place in your garden. Mature plants range from 36-48" tall x 24-36” wide.
Our Swamp Milkweed Collection comes with 3 plants (1 of each) and covers approximately 12 square feet when planted together.
- Asclepias incarnata 'Rose'
- Asclepias incarnata 'Ice Ballet'
- Asclepias incarnata 'Soulmate'
