Showy Monarch Butterfly Host Plant, turn your plain landscape into a gorgeous habitat for butterflies! The Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is a native perennial that makes it easy! Milkweed's fragrant, bright pink, and white pom-pom blooms are composed of many dozens of small flowers.

You'll love the wildflower clusters in summer! Look closely to study each five-petaled true flower with its range of colors from pink to mauve into white. Smell their sweet and spicy honey-scented fragrance, too. They'll perfume your yard and boost your mood like "living aromatherapy"!

This native choice supports beneficial pollinators and butterflies with nutrient-rich nectar for several months as midsummer heats up. The garden will dance with these visitors, and every minute brings a rewarding experience for mindful watchers. Swamp Milkweed are very important host plants for Monarch caterpillars. Watch for Monarch chrysalis hanging below the undersides of the long, lance-shaped leaves.

Swamp Milkweed does take its time leafing out in spring, but once it gets going the six-inch, lance-leaf foliage will fill out your plant nicely. This native Milkweed is hardy throughout USDA growing zones 3 to 6 and grows up to 4-5 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide. There are no significant insect or disease issues with the Swamp Milkweed either! The white milky sap inside the leaves and stems is bitter and avoided by deer and rabbits, but loved by beneficial insects!

Planting and Application:

Swamp Milkweed is an attractive, herbaceous perennial that would be perfect for those difficult, low spots in your yard, as it thrives in moist conditions. You can easily incorporate this helpful plant as a lively addition to your perennial borders. Use them in planned Rain Gardens to help filter potentially polluted water runoff from roofs and streets.

This moisture-loving selection develops into a uniquely valuable "must-have '' for your Butterfly Garden! If you love butterflies, it's a great way to attract them, and Monarchs are especially fond of Milkweed. It is often planted specifically to encourage Monarchs in a region. Plant several in drifts through the center of your plantings.

Prepare to be thrilled and amazed at the amount of "flying flowers'' that you'll see working these tiny flowers over each day. Butterflies, moths, and beneficial pollinators cherish these nectar resources! Give kids and garden visitors a delightful tour through our natural world. Nature Hills is so pleased to offer this special clump-forming perennial...along with many other native wildflowers.

Milkweed contains natural compounds like cardenolides, which protect the baby caterpillars from being eaten by birds. You'll love seeing the cute black, white, and yellow caterpillars munching away on your plants!

If you grow your own food as part of an Edible Landscape, you'll definitely want to grow Swamp Milkweed near your Victory Garden to encourage pollinators to come explore your vegetables and orchards.

After the flowers have faded, Swamp Milkweed forms eye-catching four-inch pods that are a favorite of young and old alike. Once ripe, they'll split to release the brown seeds...using silky white plumes to catch the wind and reach new destinations.

These pretty blooming perennials shouldn't be considered weeds. Sticks and stones! Sure, they perform really well and can spread here and there in your yard, but you can control their self-seeding and spread by cutting off the pods before they split open. Dry them for gorgeous seasonal arrangements that last all winter long as an effective, charming method of size control!

Others encourage their growth and spend happy moments blowing their seeds to new parts of the yard. Your friends may beg you for some of the pods, too!

Wildcrafters and homesteaders can research an amazing variety of uses. In its various stages, Milkweed pods are used as a nematode insecticide, as an adhesive, and even as a poison ivy treatment.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

As its name implies, erect-branching perennial Swamp Milkweeds love moist, swampy conditions! They'll also adapt to well-drained areas with consistent moisture. You'll get the best performance with a planting site in full sun because Swamp Milkweed needs at least six hours of sunlight a day.

Ideally, they love a place that stays a bit damp. Why not decorate the area around your drain spout or create a Rain Garden with their help? This water lover needs a consistent schedule of water all season. Add a three-inch layer of mulch to cover the root system and reduce surface evaporation.

Please leave the stalks standing overwinter, as they provide valuable shelter, then cut down the stalks to an inch high in early spring.

If your dog loves tennis balls, you NEED these
Raising any puppy is tough. Raising a German Shepherd puppy has often left me questioning my life choices. So I was ecstatic the day that my 60-lb puppy decided that he loves tennis balls and occupied himself for 2 hours without needing constant intervention. Naturally, my immediate response was to make sure we had a constant supply of large tennis balls for dogs available. Now my puppy loves mischief, but he’s not an aggressive chewer. And I was irritated to discover that every brand and size of tennis ball broke within an hour max of play. By simply playing fetch and batting the ball around with his paws, every single tennis ball split into 2 halves. We needed something better! These squeaky balls are exactly that! They come in a 2-pack. I gave my pup the 1st one a week ago and it’s still going strong! We play fetch in the backyard, he brings it into the doggy pool with him, it rolls around in the dirt and can be rinsed off easily. It’s by far his favorite toy, and he takes it everywhere with him. Finally a squeaky ball that can keep up with my dog! These are the perfect size, texture, bounce, squeak, everything. These are the ONLY squeaky balls I will buy from now on. Five stars for sure!

Durable squeaky ball for chewers
Color: Blue+Red, Color: Blue+Red
These are great! My 54 lb GSP loves them and it’s the only thing she cannot destroy! She’s currently 1 year and we have had the balls for several months. We have this brand and similar ones too. They float, bounce, and squeak. The ridges are good for chewing.

Great squeaky balls
Color: Blue+Red
Awesome! My super chewers haven’t been able to destroy it. It’s been about 3 months now and it still squeaks and bounces like new! It’s a bit tougher than normal squeaky toys but so worth it for aggressive chewers.

Awesome for hyper dogs
Color: Blue
AWESOME - I have a dog that just won't stop trying to get me to play with him ALL day! I turn this thing on and he goes nuts and tires himself out...without any help from me. The cover got torn off and torn up in minutes but he doesn't care. He just wants this ball. My other dogs, who are older, aren't really interested. But if you have a hyper dog this is the thing for you and them!
