Eastern swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata subsp. pulchra) is an outstanding native perennial for moist garden beds, rain gardens, and pond margins. It produces clusters of rosy-pink flowers that are highly attractive to monarch butterflies and other pollinators. Plant in consistently moist to wet soil with partial sun and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
