Description

Clusters of fragrant, cloudlike white flowers cover the Ice Ballet Asclepias Incarnata, more commonly known as white swamp milkweed. The tall stalks wave in the breeze, enticing butterflies, bees and hummingbirds alike from late spring to midsummer.

A gorgeous addition to the full sun landscape, with luxurious lance-shaped foliage that complements the blossoms for beautiful cut flower arrangements.

Fun Fact: Asclepias are the only plants that Monarch butterflies will lay their eggs on and are critical to their survival. When you grow a Butterfly Weed or Milkweed, you're actually supporting this spectacular species! Allow Monarch caterpillars to eat the plant and develop into butterflies.

Note: The sap is considered toxic to curious pets if ingested. Plant with caution.

Beautiful addition

She came as such a small plant, but it's 5 times her size after 6 months. Really well packaged up, so healthy. I'm excited for next spring.

If you really want one

Not very impressive almost insignificant like a native weed. But it does its thing.

Terrible product! Rotten and didn’t get but about 1/2 of the order. Delivery was too late and took way too long!
