Clusters of small mauve-pink flowers bloom in the summer, each filled with pollen and rich nectar for pollinators. These flowers stand above long, lance-shaped leaves that are incredibly important for caterpillars! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMilkweeds, including Swamp Milkweed, are essential for the Monarch lifecycle. Their relationship includes more than just swapping nectar for pollination. Caterpillars exclusively feed on their leaves, which are filled with cardenolides. Cardenolides are stored in the bodies of Monarch caterpillars and butterflies as a defense against predators. Without Milkweed, we wouldn't have Monarchs!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVital Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlant Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e 4-6'\u003c\/span\u003e tall x 2-3' wide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e F\u003c\/span\u003eull sun (6+ hrs\/day)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eAverage moisture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHardiness\u003c\/strong\u003e: USDA zone 3-9 (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.greatgardenplants.com\/pages\/shopping-by-zone\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/www.greatgardenplants.com\/pages\/shopping-by-zone\"\u003eFind your hardiness zone\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Attracts butterflies, hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinating insects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHost Plant To The Following:\u003c\/strong\u003e Monarch butterfly, Queen butterfly, Soldier butterfly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNotable features\u003c\/strong\u003e: Fragrant, great cut flowers, long-blooming, deer resistant, multiple seasons of interest, low maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePot size\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca title=\"one quart\" href=\"https:\/\/buttarflybushes.com\/pages\/our-plant-sizes\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/buttarflybushes.com\/pages\/our-plant-sizes\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eone quart\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlant name:\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAsclepias incarnata\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"buttarflybushes.com","offers":[{"title":"One Quart","offer_id":39667032359088,"sku":"8336","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0235\/7061\/2270\/files\/Swamp_Milkweed_garden_2.png?v=1737471550","url":"https:\/\/buttarflybushes.com\/products\/swamp-milkweed","provider":"buttarflybushes.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
