Swamp Milkweed, or Pink Milkweed, is a herbaceous perennial that typically grows 3 to 4 feet tall on branching stems. It bears clusters of small, fragrant, pink to mauve flowers that are highly attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. This plant is a valuable food source for Monarch caterpillars, though is poisonous to humans if ingested raw or in large amounts. Swamp Milkweed is a great plant for low spots or other moist areas in the landscape, as it grows in full sun to partial shade, and in rich and even muddy soil.
