Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is a vital host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars and a top nectar source for pollinators. This beautiful, long-blooming perennial produces clusters of rose-to-deep pink flowers on tall, branching stalks with narrow, lance-shaped leaves. As a wetland-loving species, swamp milkweed thrives in rain gardens, pond edges, and moist soils, making it an excellent addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes.

Key Features:

  • Monarch Host Plant: Essential for monarch butterfly caterpillars, providing food for their life cycle.
  • Pollinator Favorite: Abundant nectar attracts butterflies, moths, bees, and hummingbirds.
  • Long-Lasting Blooms: Rosy-pink flowers bloom from mid-summer through early fall, adding vibrant color and texture.
  • Fall & Winter Interest: Tan/brown seed pods develop in fall and persist into winter, supporting birds and beneficial insects.
  • Moisture-Loving: Ideal for rain gardens, pond edges, and wet meadows, but also grows well in average garden soils.
  • Low Maintenance: Once established, it requires minimal water and no chemicals.
  • Deer Resistant: Naturally unappealing to deer, ensuring lasting blooms.
  • Pollinator-Safe: Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids, promoting a healthy ecosystem for pollinators and wildlife.

Available in sets of three, six, or 12  plants to suit gardens of any size.

Why Choose Swamp Milkweed?

Swamp Milkweed is a must-have for monarch conservation and pollinator-friendly gardens. Its striking pink blooms, adaptability to wet soils, and role as a caterpillar host plant make it an essential choice for creating a thriving habitat. Whether used in wildflower meadows, butterfly gardens, or rain gardens, this native perennial adds both beauty and ecological value.

Planting Tips:

  1. Location: Prefers full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained soil; tolerates average garden conditions.
  2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots; tolerates drier conditions once mature.
  3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.

Finally! A sunscreen that works and does not burn my eyes.
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I am unable to use chemical or hybrid sunscreens on my face because they "melt" and destroy my eyes. Living in the south means daily sunscreen year-around is a must - having found this product is a godsend. Unscented, no chemicals to discolor my clothes, no titanium dioxide so no purple-white ghostly cast, easily rubs in. Simply perfect!!!

Effective Mineral Sun Protection
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This mineral sunscreen does a great job at blocking the sun. It applies smoothly, although it does have a slightly pasty texture which is typical of mineral sunscreens. I love that it was on the thinner side for consistency which makes it easy to apply evenly. We used it extensively last summer and it kept us well protected. We'll definitely be using it again this summer!

good consistency
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
It is a body lotion and for that it's great but it's a bit white for face unless you are very fair. Not shiny which is a plus and goes on evenly.

This is the only sunscreen that doesn't give me an allergic reaction
Style: SPF 30, Size: 3 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've tried many other sunscreens and all of them give me an allergic reaction, or they are very thick and leave a white residue. This, though, does neither of those things. It's just the right consistency. I've purchased this twice now and will purchase more in the future, I'm sure.
