Asclepias incarnata, commonly known as swamp milkweed, is an upright, clump-forming herbaceous perennial native to North America. It features narrow, lance-shaped leaves and produces striking clusters of fragrant, vanilla-scented pink to mauve flowers from mid to late summer. This species is a critical host plant for monarch butterflies and thrives in moist to wet soils, making it ideal for rain gardens or pond edges. It typically grows three to five feet tall in full sun conditions.
