The Swamp Pink Milkweed, or Asclepias incarnata, graces gardens with its delicate, fragrant pink blooms. As an integral part of butterfly gardens, this heirloom variety is especially favored by Monarch butterflies, providing essential sustenance for caterpillars and nectar for the adults. Moreover, bees and other pollinators are drawn to its vibrant flowers. Suited for damp areas, Swamp Pink Milkweed thrives in wet meadows, along streams, and even in well-watered garden beds. Its beautiful flowers and ecological importance make it a must-have for nature lovers and gardeners alike.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Stratify seeds for 30 days by placing them in moistened paper towels or sand, sealing in a plastic bag, and storing at 40°F. After stratification, sow seeds 1/8 inch deep in well-draining soil in a sunny location. Space plants 18-24 inches apart, with rows spaced 36 inches apart. Water regularly, ensuring soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Swamp Pink Milkweed prefers moist soil conditions and is ideal for planting near ponds or streams.
