Asclepias incarnata (Swamp Milkweed)
Fall is the best time to plant milkweed. The SOLE FOOD for Monarch baby larvae! An amazing native pollinator attractor and striking addition to the landscape. Its spread can be easily managed by removing seedpods before they open. Grows in Full or Partial Sun and is drought tolerant after the first year. Note: it will take into its second year to bloom. Monarch populations are dangerously low. Please reestablish milkweed clumps all along migration routes from Mexico/California up to the Northern US and Canada.
