Description
Swamp Milkweed is a vibrant perennial that thrives in moist soils, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens, bog gardens, and naturalized areas. It produces clusters of rosy-pink, fragrant flowers from mid-summer to early fall, attracting butterflies, especially monarchs. Its narrow, grayish-green foliage adds texture and movement to garden spaces.
This hardy, low-maintenance plant grows best in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to wet conditions. While highly attractive to pollinators, it is deer-resistant, making it a reliable option for wildlife-friendly landscapes. Perfect for mass plantings, woodland edges, or mixed perennial borders, Swamp Milkweed provides lasting beauty and ecological benefits.
