Swamp Milkweed

The swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), offered by Northern Wildflowers, is a perennial plant perfect for naturalized gardens and wetland areas. With its vibrant pink blooms from July to September, this native plant attracts a variety of pollinators, including bees, hummingbirds, and monarch butterflies, for which it serves as a host plant. Thriving in clay-rich, moist soils, it plays a vital role in ecosystem restoration.

Growing Tips:
For successful germination, cold stratify seeds by placing them in a moist substrate in the refrigerator for 6 to 8 weeks. Then, sow them 1/8 inch deep in rich, moist soil, or directly outdoors in the fall for natural germination. Swamp milkweed thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moderately to very moist soils.

Enhance your green spaces with swamp milkweed, a beautiful and essential plant for biodiversity!
