Asclepias incarnata - Rose Milkweed

Rose Milkweed is a garden standout with large, fragrant flowers reminiscent of vanilla. Beyond its visual and aromatic charm, this milkweed variety serves as a host for Swallowtail butterflies, enriching your garden ecosystem. During WW2, its fluffy seeds, that are five times warmer than wool, were used in pillows and life jackets for soldiers. Rose Milkweed is also salt-tolerant. It's a crucial component of our Monarch Meal Plan of 9 native plants that are vital contributors to the well-being and life cycle of Monarch butterflies that you can learn more about here.
