Swamp Milkweed 'Ice Ballet' // Pre-Order

Pre-Order Now for Spring 2025 Pickup: Swamp Milkweed 'Ice Ballet' — Monarch-Approved & Garden-Tested

Asclepias Incarnata, also known as Swamp Milkweed, is a native perennial that deserves a permanent spot in every pollinator-friendly garden. This white-blooming powerhouse isn’t just a host plant for monarch caterpillars — it’s also a standout ornamental, blooming for 2–3 months straight in summer with no flopping, staking, or fuss.

Part of our Perennial Pollinator Collection, this plant does double duty: it’s ecologically vital and genuinely beautiful in the landscape. Plus, it’s completely deer, rabbit, and woodchuck resistant thanks to natural sap toxins.

Quantities are very limited, and this is a pre-order only plant.
