A recent selection of a native North American wildflower. This forms a tall, upright clump of long green leaves, bearing clusters of rosy-pink, vanilla-scented flowers in mid-summer that are a magnet to butterflies! Certain types of butterflies also lay their eggs specifically on this plant, which the larvae use for food. Useful in the perennial border or wildflower meadow, and very easy. Seed pods are nice in dried arrangements and may be picked just before they open. Fresh flowers are also cut; the ends of the stems must be seared over a flame to stop the sap from running. Unlike some other species of milkweed, this one tolerates moist soils, even up to mucky clay.
Height: 90-120cm (35-47") | Spread: 60-75cm (23-29”) | Sun Exposure: Full sun
Bloom Time: Mid summer to early fall | USDA Zone: 3–9 | Scientific Name: Asclepias incarnata ‘Cinderella’
 
As with all living things, no two plants are alike and, therefore, may not be exactly as shown. There will be some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. May be in stages of flowering upon purchase.
