Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata)
I like the sun but will do okay in part shade.
I need a lot of water to survive
Size: 4-6 ft tall x 2 ft wide
Bloom Time: Summer
I am a great native milkweed for wet areas. I am a host plant for the monarch, soldier, and queen butterflies. The caterpillars will eat all of my leaves, but don’t worry, I will grow back. I need a lot of water so plant me where my feet will stay wet. I also go dormant in the winter, but I will reemerge in the spring.
*Host plant for the Monarch butterfly.
