Swamp Milkweed


Known for its pink flowers and long, narrow leaves, Asclepias incarnata (otherwise known as Swamp Milkweed) attracts many different types of bees and butterflies.

A perennial native to Minnesota, Swamp Milkweed blooms from June to September with a plant height ranging from 1 to 4 feet. This plant generally likes sunny areas with moist soil such as wet fields, swamps, and along shores.

48 Swamp Milkweeds have been planted in TCA's rain garden.
