Asclepias Pink Milkweed
Add a pop of pink and a touch of nature to your garden with Asclepias Pink Milkweed. Growing to a stately height of 48 to 60 inches, this robust wildflower blooms from summer through fall with clusters of sweetly fragrant pink to mauve flowers. These nectar-rich blooms are a favorite of hummingbirds and butterflies, while the plant's foliage nourishes monarch caterpillars, making it an essential addition to any pollinator garden. The flowers and seedpods are perfect for fresh or dried arrangements, bringing garden beauty indoors.
A variety of Asclepias incarnata, commonly called swamp milkweed, milkweed, or butterfly weed, Asclepias Pink is a hardy perennial suited for Zones 4-9. Whether planted in garden borders, near ponds or streams, or in large containers, this versatile plant provides ecological benefits and visual interest.
Pink milkweed thrives in full sun and moist to wet soils but can adapt to average garden conditions as long as the soil retains sufficient moisture. Drought tolerance is limited, so consistent watering is recommended during the growing season. Naturally deer resistant and low maintenance, Asclepias Pink milkweed is a reliable choice for gardeners of all skill levels.
Plant Pink milkweed roots in spring, spacing them 24 to 36 inches apart and burying them 1½ to 2 inches deep. Butterfly weed prefers to remain undisturbed, so choose a permanent spot when planting.
Native to the eastern and midwestern United States and Canada, swamp milkweed is both beautiful and environmentally friendly. These native plants support biodiversity by providing food and shelter for pollinators and wildlife. They thrive without extra fertilizers or watering once established, creating a sustainable garden while enhancing its natural beauty.
Sap may cause skin irritation.
