Red Milkweed - Asclepias incarnata
Naturally found in low-lying areas at the edge of swamps and ponds, Red Milkweed produces rich clusters of deep rose-purple to pale-rose colored flowers from June through August. One of the very best food plants for Monarch Butterfly larvae, the caterpillars will eat the leaves right off! But don't worry, the reward is all the butterflies that come later. Plant some this year to attract Monarchs to your garden!
