Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is a vital host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars and a top nectar source for pollinators. This beautiful, long-blooming perennial produces clusters of rose-to-deep pink flowers on tall, branching stalks with narrow, lance-shaped leaves. As a wetland-loving species, swamp milkweed thrives in rain gardens, pond edges, and moist soils, making it an excellent addition to wildlife-friendly landscapes.

Key Features:

  • Monarch Host Plant: Essential for monarch butterfly caterpillars, providing food for their life cycle.
  • Pollinator Favorite: Abundant nectar attracts butterflies, moths, bees, and hummingbirds.
  • Long-Lasting Blooms: Rosy-pink flowers bloom from mid-summer through early fall, adding vibrant color and texture.
  • Fall & Winter Interest: Tan/brown seed pods develop in fall and persist into winter, supporting birds and beneficial insects.
  • Moisture-Loving: Ideal for rain gardens, pond edges, and wet meadows, but also grows well in average garden soils.
  • Low Maintenance: Once established, it requires minimal water and no chemicals.
  • Deer Resistant: Naturally unappealing to deer, ensuring lasting blooms.
  • Pollinator-Safe: Grown non-GMO and free of harmful neonicotinoids, promoting a healthy ecosystem for pollinators and wildlife.

Available in sets of three, six, or 12  plants to suit gardens of any size.

Why Choose Swamp Milkweed?

Swamp Milkweed is a must-have for monarch conservation and pollinator-friendly gardens. Its striking pink blooms, adaptability to wet soils, and role as a caterpillar host plant make it an essential choice for creating a thriving habitat. Whether used in wildflower meadows, butterfly gardens, or rain gardens, this native perennial adds both beauty and ecological value.

Planting Tips:

  1. Location: Prefers full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained soil; tolerates average garden conditions.
  2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots; tolerates drier conditions once mature.
  3. Maintenance: Minimal care required. There's no need to deadhead the flowers, as allowing them to go to seed provides a valuable food source for birds. Leaving the stems standing in the fall offers overwintering sites for beneficial insects. If desired, cut back the stems in late spring after pollinators have emerged.

Plant swamp milkweed and create a pollinator paradise while playing a crucial role in monarch butterfly conservation!

Hyena Proof
Color: Acorn - Large, Size: Large
I have an American Bulldog that would chew a brick if he didn’t have an alternative lying around. They won’t last forever (nothing does) but we’ve had two of these over the course of a year and for him that is nothing short of a miracle. And that is daily chewing like it’s his job. I highly recommend the Acornucopia for aggressive chewers with jaws like hyenas…so it’s probably great for your dog too.

This is an awesome product and affordably priced! I'll buy more in the future!
Color: Comet - Small, Size: Small
This is a great ball for my dog Polly! It doesn't stink or have any weird oils on the ball. It is definitely durable. It has a nice chirping sound and it's great exercise for my dog's jaws. It's not too bouncy and it's the perfect weight that she feels satisfied having in her mouth and when she catches it in mid-air. It's not too heavy that I have to worry about it knocking her teeth out. I almost cancelled the order after I found out the size of the ball, I thought it was a larger ball that Bark makes. It turns out it is larger than a tennis ball which is what I wanted. Someone gave us a black, knobby, ball that is 12.5 inches in diameter and she absolutely loves it, it's her favorite ball. It's the perfect size for her American Pit Bull mouth! I cannot find this product anywhere or a comparable alternative that's the same size. If you know where I can purchase another ball that I've described @ 12.5 in. diameter, please let me know! I'll likely buy this ball that was just delivered, today, in the future, if it's not discontinued! It's a great deal for only $14.99!! Thanks from a happy satisfied customer, V.B.

Sort of good for tough chewers??
Color: Deep Roots Carrot - Small, Size: Small Dog
The actual carrot part (orange part) is tough chewer approved and my dog loves. It’s basically the same shape and size as his kong. However the leaves (green part) is not tough chewer approved. He ripped ALL those leaves off and ate them within 5 minutes of me giving him the toy. However they passed through him fine.
