Description
Terrific for a rain garden, Swamp Milkweed's rosy pink clusters attract a myriad of pollinators, the occasional hummingbird and other insects. Forming colonies when conditions are right, it is a host plant for Monarch butterflies and the federally endangered Rusty Patched Bumble Bee. Favored by Finches, Chickadees, Titmice and more.
