Flowering Months

The upright stems of Asclepias incarnata 'Ice Ballet' are topped with dense clusters of pristine white blooms, from mid-summer to autumn. The nectar rich flowers are a magnet for butterflies. This unusual hardy perennial has an elegant presence in sunny borders where its willowy foliage adds texture to cottage garden planting schemes. As the flowers fade, they are replaced by intriguing seedpods which can be used in fresh or dried cut flower displays. Asclepias incarnata 'Ice Ballet' prefers a moist, fertile soil, but shows surprising tolerance to dry conditions once established. Height: 90cm (36"). Spread: 60cm (24").

How to Grow

Plant bareroots at the earliest opportunity following delivery. Grow swamp milkweed plants in any fertile, moist soil in full sun. Asclpeias incarnata prefers a reliably moist soil and is well suited to growing beside streams and ponds.

More Info

Water young plants regularly until they are fully established. Deadhead the first flush of blooms when they fade to promote a second flush of vibrant swamp milkweed flowers. Leave the faded flower heads of any subsequent blooms intact at the end of summer to enjoy an attractive autumn seed head display. When the first frosts blacken the stems, cut them down to ground level. Lift and divide overcrowded clumps of Asclepias in spring.

Caution

Caution: harmful if eaten
