Milkweed Swamp 'Cinderella'
Asclepias incarnata 'Cinderella'
Cinderella Swamp Milkweed is a flowering perennial with lightly scented, rose-pink flowers starting in midsummer. A favourite of bees, hummingbirds and butterflies!
There is debate on whether Cinderella and Soul Mate are different cultivars or the same variety displaying natural colour variations.
Milkweed is the host plant for Monarch Butterflies, though they tend to prefer laying their eggs on Common Milkweed.
Swamp Milkweed Grows best in full sun with medium to wet soils, but will also tolerate average garden soils.
Seasonal Availability: Typically mid-April to August
