USDA HARDINESS ZONE:3-6 GROW:Asclepias incarnata requires at least 30 days of cold stratification before it will germinate. When sowing Swamp Milkweed seeds, barely cover the seed with soil and keep the soil moist and in bright light. The seeds should germinate within 1-3 weeks. WATCH OUT FOR PETS:Milkweed is a moderate to severe poisoning in dogs and cats, which means get to the vet as soon as you suspect your pet has ingested the plant. PLANT TIME:Milkweed plants can be planted in spring or fall. ATTENTION:While milkweed is needed in large numbers to support and expand the monarch butterfly population, we do not recommend planting milkweed of any species not be planted within 5-10 miles of monarch overwintering sites in California. White swamp milkweed is a perennial plant in the Milkweed family (Asclepiadaceae). Milkweed flowers are highly specialized. The floral structure is comprised of a corona, five hoods each with one horn, and five reflexed petals. The hood is a petal-like structure that arises from the base of the filament and acts as a sheath around an inner appendage called the horn. White swamp milkweed produces an inflorescence with few flowers. Flowers bloom in mid-summer. Aquatic Milkweed is one of the few shade-tolerant milkweeds. This is an excellent choice for use as a Monarch host as it will remain evergreen in mild winters in zone 8B and warmer and is a good substitute for Tropical Milkweed for those looking for a reliable native perennial milkweed with a smaller compact habit. Asclepias perennis is native to much of the eastern central US. Provide a 4-6 hours of sun in average moist to semi-moist soil for optimum vigor and flowering. Plant the Aquatic or White Milkweed in spring until about midsummer in zones 6-8 to help ensure plants are well-established before winter. It can also be enjoyed as a container plant but it should be protected if there is a chance that the soil can freeze.This is one of the few native milkweed seeds that do not need to be cold-stratified. Does well planted in containers.
