Other: Swamp Milkweed is not only eye-catching but also serves an important role as a host plant for the Monarch butterfly, whose larva feed exclusively on milkweed. Additionally, it is a valuable nectar source for bees and other insects. Named for its milky juice and the Greek god of healing, Asclepius, due to its many traditional medicinal uses. The dried seed pods are commonly used in dried floral arrangements. This plant is well-suited for wetlands or typical garden settings.
