Asclepias perennis (White Swamp Milkweed or White Aquatic Milkweed) grows 1-2ft tall. Larval host to the monarch butterfly, queen butterfly, and soldier butterfly. Clusters of white flowers attract bees and butterflies and bloom spring-fall. Tolerates wet sites, but also does well in general landscape situations.

GROW NATIVE PLANTS YALL!!!
Excellent. Love mail order natives. Every time I get something they deliver. The aquatic milkweed arrived in excellent condition. Love this.

A. Perennis
This is an update to my review on April 21. In late August dozens of Monarchs landed on my plants, which I can see because the window over my desk overlooks the planters. A few days later I’d say there were nearly 50 Monarch caterpillars devouring blooms, leaves, and even some stems. As of today, the foliage and blooms have nearly regenerated. Is it too much to hope for more visitors this year? I’ve seen Monarchs still migrating in the Florida panhandle in late November.

A beautiful milkweed plant arrived in great shape and is now doing well in my yard. This plant was carefully wrapped and packed with a big root ball that was easily transplanted. Thanks so much for making sure I got the correct milkweed for my region and for helping the pollinators!
