Swamp Milkweed
(Asclepias incarnata)

Spectacular fragrant maroon flower clusters on 30-40" (75 cm-1 m) stalks in July. Full sun on moist to medium clay soils. A favourite of Monarch butterflies, Swamp Milkweed is one of Manitoba's showiest wildflowers. Watch for the vivid tiger-striped Monarch caterpillars in mid summer, & soon you will have the adult butterflies flying around your garden, even in the middle of the city!
