Showy Monarch Butterfly Host Plant, turn your plain landscape into a gorgeous habitat for butterflies! The Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) is a native perennial that makes it easy! Milkweed's fragrant, bright pink, and white pom-pom blooms are composed of many dozens of small flowers.

You'll love the wildflower clusters in summer! Look closely to study each five-petaled true flower with its range of colors from pink to mauve into white. Smell their sweet and spicy honey-scented fragrance, too. They'll perfume your yard and boost your mood like "living aromatherapy"!

This native choice supports beneficial pollinators and butterflies with nutrient-rich nectar for several months as midsummer heats up. The garden will dance with these visitors, and every minute brings a rewarding experience for mindful watchers. Swamp Milkweed are very important host plants for Monarch caterpillars. Watch for Monarch chrysalis hanging below the undersides of the long, lance-shaped leaves.

Swamp Milkweed does take its time leafing out in spring, but once it gets going the six-inch, lance-leaf foliage will fill out your plant nicely. This native Milkweed is hardy throughout USDA growing zones 3 to 6 and grows up to 4-5 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide. There are no significant insect or disease issues with the Swamp Milkweed either! The white milky sap inside the leaves and stems is bitter and avoided by deer and rabbits, but loved by beneficial insects!

Planting and Application:

Swamp Milkweed is an attractive, herbaceous perennial that would be perfect for those difficult, low spots in your yard, as it thrives in moist conditions. You can easily incorporate this helpful plant as a lively addition to your perennial borders. Use them in planned Rain Gardens to help filter potentially polluted water runoff from roofs and streets.

This moisture-loving selection develops into a uniquely valuable "must-have '' for your Butterfly Garden! If you love butterflies, it's a great way to attract them, and Monarchs are especially fond of Milkweed. It is often planted specifically to encourage Monarchs in a region. Plant several in drifts through the center of your plantings.

Prepare to be thrilled and amazed at the amount of "flying flowers'' that you'll see working these tiny flowers over each day. Butterflies, moths, and beneficial pollinators cherish these nectar resources! Give kids and garden visitors a delightful tour through our natural world. Nature Hills is so pleased to offer this special clump-forming perennial...along with many other native wildflowers.

Milkweed contains natural compounds like cardenolides, which protect the baby caterpillars from being eaten by birds. You'll love seeing the cute black, white, and yellow caterpillars munching away on your plants!

If you grow your own food as part of an Edible Landscape, you'll definitely want to grow Swamp Milkweed near your Victory Garden to encourage pollinators to come explore your vegetables and orchards.

After the flowers have faded, Swamp Milkweed forms eye-catching four-inch pods that are a favorite of young and old alike. Once ripe, they'll split to release the brown seeds...using silky white plumes to catch the wind and reach new destinations.

These pretty blooming perennials shouldn't be considered weeds. Sticks and stones! Sure, they perform really well and can spread here and there in your yard, but you can control their self-seeding and spread by cutting off the pods before they split open. Dry them for gorgeous seasonal arrangements that last all winter long as an effective, charming method of size control!

Others encourage their growth and spend happy moments blowing their seeds to new parts of the yard. Your friends may beg you for some of the pods, too!

Wildcrafters and homesteaders can research an amazing variety of uses. In its various stages, Milkweed pods are used as a nematode insecticide, as an adhesive, and even as a poison ivy treatment.

  • Bold Pink Flowers in Round Clusters
  • Fragrant Blooms Last for Months!
  • Excellent Host Plant for Monarch Butterfly Larvae
  • Exceptional Nectar Resource
  • Rugged Wildflower & Wetland Native

#ProPlantTips for Care:

As its name implies, erect-branching perennial Swamp Milkweeds love moist, swampy conditions! They'll also adapt to well-drained areas with consistent moisture. You'll get the best performance with a planting site in full sun because Swamp Milkweed needs at least six hours of sunlight a day.

Ideally, they love a place that stays a bit damp. Why not decorate the area around your drain spout or create a Rain Garden with their help? This water lover needs a consistent schedule of water all season. Add a three-inch layer of mulch to cover the root system and reduce surface evaporation.

Please leave the stalks standing overwinter, as they provide valuable shelter, then cut down the stalks to an inch high in early spring.

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

my new favorite book
Format: Kindle
Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.
