Swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is a native perennial known for its vibrant clusters of pink to purple flowers, which attract pollinators like butterflies, especially monarchs. Thriving in moist, well-drained soils, it is commonly found in wetland areas but can also grow in gardens with sufficient moisture. Swamp milkweed grows tall, typically reaching 3-5 feet, and features narrow, lance-shaped leaves. Its striking flowers and ability to support wildlife make it a great addition to pollinator-friendly landscapes.
