A virtually hassle-free perennial, offering vanilla-scented, white flowers in large, compact clusters from midsummer to early fall. Deadheading the flowers will stimulate another bloom cycle about a month after the first one. The flowers, which are heavily laden with nectar and pollen, are particularly attractive to hummingbirds, butterflies, bees, and other beneficial insects. This species grows in loose clumps by means of slowly creeping rhizomes. It is not invasive and can be safely mixed in with other perennials in the border. Asclepias incarnata is native to North America. These plants provide nourishment for Monarch butterflies through all their life stages, and are essential for their survival.

A white selection of our native Swamp Milkweed, Asclepias incarnata 'Ice Ballet' produces large clusters of tiny white blooms. They appear in midsummer in stark contrast to the rich green foliage. Plants need full sun and will grow in heavy, wet soil, but they don't require it. Plants are deer resistant and heat tolerant.
