Swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is an herbaceous perennial in the Apocynaceae (dogbane) family that is native to Southeastern North Carolina and throughout the Eastern US. The attractive pink to rose-purple flowers mature in mid-spring and last into early fall. The seed pods split open to release seeds that float on the wind. Milkweed is an important food source for Monarch butterfly caterpillars (Danaus plexippus), and the flowers are visited by many pollinators. It is resistant to browsing by deer.
Light Exposure: Full Sun Mature Height: 3 – 5 ft.
Soil Moisture: Medium - Moist Mature Width: 2 – 3 ft.
