Rose Milkweed, also known as Swamp Milkweed, is a perennial herb that grows 24-40” tall. It has smooth narrow leaves and clusters of dusty rose to purple star-shaped flowers. This deer and rabbit resistant flower plays a major role in the life of monarch butterflies. It provides pollen, nectar, and habitat for this beautiful orange butterfly, as well as its caterpillars (larvae). If you have a passion for conservation, plant a collection of milkweeds and other wildflowers to help rescue the threatened butterfly population as well as those of other pollinator species like bees and hummingbirds.
- Swamp Milkweed - Also known as rose milkweed, red milkweed, or marsh milkweed, Asclepias incarnata is a perennial wildflower with a native range over most of North America. Its flowers are a beautiful dusky pink color, with small star-shaped blooms growing in clusters. These bushes thrive in wetlands and moist outdoor conditions and will not spread as much as common milkweed.
- Attract Monarchs - Milkweed is vital to monarch butterflies and caterpillars as food, a place to live, lay eggs, and navigate by. Bee, hummingbirds, and other wild pollinator species also will visit this bush. Help with insect conservation by adding milkweeds to your wildflower mix.
- Cold Stratify for Better Germination - For best results, recreate winter conditions to prime the seeds for planting. For indoor seed starting, sprinkle seeds into a damp paper towel, roll up, and store in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks, then sow as usual. Stratification encourages seeds to sprout, giving you more young seedlings to become healthy plants.
