Native to swamps and wet meadows, Swamp Milkweed is easily grown in medium to wet soils, but is also tolerant of an average to well-drained soil. It is an erect, clump-forming perennial that typically grows 3-4' tall on branching stems. Small, fragrant, pink flowers appear in tight clusters (umbels) in the summer months. Flowers will attract pollinating insects and act as the primary food source for the larval stage of Monarch butterflies.
