Asclepias
Milkweed, Butterfly Weed
A big-time butterfly attraction, particularly for the Monarch at larval stage, this American-born perennial promises an irresistible, long-lasting summertime display in a well-drained mixed border or more informal venue. The Milkweed's showy flowers look exceptional in cut arrangements, either fresh or dried, while its seed pods lend decorative accents.
A floriferous white-blooming selection of Missouri’s native Swamp Milkweed, ‘Ice Ballet’s straight sturdy stems lift tightknit, delicately fragrant pearlescent umbels and silky haired seeds. Slender, lance-shaped deep green leaves cloak the attractive compact habit, which can be added to butterfly gardens, sunny borders or streamsides, where it lures hummingbirds as well as butterflies, especially Gray Hairstreaks and Queens. This easy-care cultivar tolerates clay, deer and wet soil.
