Plant Description
Rose Milkweed, also known as Swamp Milkweed, thrives in moist soils and rain gardens. Its fragrant pink blooms attract butterflies and bees throughout mid to late summer. Unlike Common Milkweed, it forms tidy clumps rather than spreading aggressively. Cut stems back in early spring before new growth emerges.
