Asclepias incarnata, the swamp milkweed, rose milk flower, swamp silk weed, or white Indian hemp, is a herbaceous perennial plant species native to North American. It grows in damp to wet soils and is cultivated as a garden plant for its flowers, which attract butterflies and other pollinators with nectar. Like most other milkweeds, it has sap containing toxic chemicals, a characteristic that repels insects and other herbivorous animals.
Forms a tall, upright clump of long, green leaves, bearing clusters of rosy-pink, vanilla-scented flowers in mid-summer that are a magnet to butterflies.
