Swamp Milkweed 'Ice Ballet' is a native perennial with clusters of fragrant, vanilla-scented white flowers on a tall, upright plant. It's one of the best plants you can grow for monarch butterflies.
Monarchs use it as both a nectar source and a host plant for their caterpillars. Bees and other pollinators visit all summer too.
Unlike many milkweeds, swamp milkweed thrives in average to moist soil. Plant it in rain gardens, low spots, pond edges or moist borders in full sun.
