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.

Durable materials & highly recommended
My small dog loves this toy. It’s well made & I’d recommend it. The tail didn’t last, but it’s still worth the money.

This toy won my dogs hearts.
Color: Brown & Grey
I bought the monkey and elephant for my 2 large dogs. When opening the box from amazon, one of my dogs grabbed the monkey right out of my hand and took off with it. My other big brute was not to be left out, he grabbed the elephant and went the other way. They haven’t parted with either toy since. These were able to hold up to the rough play these two knuckleheads can get going. The rope is perfect for them to hang on to. The head of the toy does have filling, although not too much. The squeaky is buried inside the stuffing. One dog did manage to rip into the head trying to get to the squeaky part. I just took out the rest of the stuffing and squeaky and this toy is still his favorite. It’s a minor inconvenience to pick up the stuffing but worth it to see him this happy. I’d recommend keeping an eye on your pet when they first receive the toy. Then you’ll be able to see if they’re able to pull it apart. It took my big dogs a bit of time to get to it, but one is a mastiff, and the other is a Shepard/husky mix. Those breeds tend to tear every toy apart with time.

Unsafe product falls apart in chunks, choking hazard
Color: Brown & Grey
I bought these toys for my small 11 pound dog The product fell apart within a couple hours both this is it’s not meant for the description as a durable toy. It comes up in chunks and can cause choking. I returned the toys to make a point that I’m not gonna buy a product that can hold my pet and it’s unsafe for the advertise use.
