DESCRIPTION
Asclepias incarnata 'Cinderella' is a cultivated variety of the native Swamp Milkweed. Blooming from mid to late summer, it produces clusters of rosy-pink flowers with delicate white centers, each small bloom forming part of a larger, rounded umbel. These fragrant flowers are rich in nectar, making them highly attractive to pollinators like butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
Compared to the species, 'Cinderella' offers a more compact and uniform growth habit, with larger, more abundant flower clusters. It retains all the wildlife-friendly qualities of its parent plant, serving as both a nectar source for adult butterflies and a host plant for monarch caterpillars. The combination of showy, colorful blooms and ecological benefits makes 'Cinderella' a standout addition to pollinator gardens and naturalistic landscapes.
