Asclepias Incarnata ‘Ice Ballet’

Product Details

A white selection of our native Swamp Milkweed, Asclepias incarnata ‘Ice Ballet’ produces large clusters of tiny white blooms, each resembling a member of the corps de ballet in Swan Lake. They appear in midsummer in stark contrast to the rich green foliage. Plants need full sun and will grow in heavy, wet soil, but they don’t require it. Plants are deer resistant and heat tolerant, too.

Of the 200 species in the genus Asclepias, the best known are North American wildflowers. They have small, curiously shaped blooms that appear in dense clusters. These plants provide nourishment for Monarch butterflies through all their life stages, and are essential for their survival.
