Ice Ballet Swamp Milkweed
Asclepias incarnata 'Ice Ballet' (Swamp Milkweed) is a pollinator-favorite, and its leaves are essential food for Monarch butterfly larvae. Sun-loving and not picky about soils, ‘Ice Ballet’ will do well in low areas, rain gardens, meadows, and perennial beds where their height of 3-4' sets the stage for the other colors of summer. Try planting them with Echinacea, Rudbeckia, Salvia, and Agastache for a tall naturalizing garden to attract a variety of pollinators. You will be mesmerized by the buzzing and fluttering visitors! The seed pods are fun to watch as they open to release their silky seeds. Cut them when the pods are still tightly closed for dried flower arrangements.
