Description
Swamp Milkweed is a hardy native perennial prized for its elegant clusters of soft pink to rose-purple flowers that bloom in mid to late summer. Naturally found in moist soils, wetlands, and along streambanks, this upright milkweed thrives in consistently damp locations but adapts well to average garden conditions once established. Growing 3-4 feet tall, it attracts butterflies, pollinators, and especially serves as an important host plant for monarch caterpillars. Its narrow green foliage and fragrant blooms make it a beautiful addition to rain gardens, naturalized plantings, and wildlife habitats. Swamp Milkweed performs best in full sun with moist, well-drained soil and is well suited for gardeners looking to support pollinators with a reliable native plant.
