This is my favorite milkweed! It is tall with pretty pink flowers. It may say 'swamp' in the name, but it will grow in dryer soils. It doesn't spread aggressively like common milkweed, so I can put it where I want it and it will stay. Plus, I usually find lots of monarch caterpillars snacking away on it. What's not to love?
