Rose Milkweed, also known as Swamp Milkweed, is a stunning perennial that produces clusters of fragrant, rosy-pink flowers. This native wildflower is a vital food source for monarch butterfly caterpillars and a favorite among bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Its tall, upright growth and vibrant blooms make it a perfect addition to pollinator gardens, borders, and naturalized landscapes. Easy to grow and tolerant of wet soils, Rose Milkweed adds beauty and ecological value to your garden.

Start milkweed seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before your last frost date, or direct-sow them outdoors in the fall. For successful germination, cold stratification is required: place seeds in a moist paper towel inside a plastic bag or container, and refrigerate for 3-4 weeks before planting.
Press seeds lightly into the soil and cover them, keeping the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-15 days. Once the risk of frost has passed, transplant seedlings to a sunny location, spacing plants about 18 inches (45 cm) apart.
