Asclepias incarnata

Outdoor Plant Size

This easy to grow, adaptable Nativar (variety of a Native Plant) is a magnet for the Monarch butterfly, bees and beneficial insects! Clouds of fragrant white flower clusters in August cover an upright mound of dark green foliage. Mingles well with moist soil-lovers such as Aster, Joe Pye Weed and Cardinal Flower. Keep in mind that Monarch caterpillars will munch on the leaves! For best results keep soil moist during dry spells.
