Description / Asclepias 'Cinderella' Milkweed

Attract butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators with Asclepias 'Cinderella,' a striking native milkweed that grows 36 to 60 inches tall and blooms throughout summer. Its fragrant pink to mauve flowers form dense, nectar-rich clusters, filling your garden with a sweet vanilla scent and supporting pollinators. The lush green leaves are a crucial food source for monarch caterpillars, while the seedpods that follow the flowers add elegance to dried arrangements and seasonal displays.

A cold-hardy, moisture-loving perennial in the Asclepias incarnata species, also called milkweed or butterfly weed, 'Cinderella' thrives in Zones 3-9 and is perfect for wetland-inspired gardens, borders, or containers. Whether grown near ponds, streams, or in butterfly gardens, it delivers beauty and ecological value.

'Cinderella' prefers sunny locations with medium to wet soils but grows well in average soil as long as it remains moist during its growing season. Once established, it is somewhat drought tolerant. This cold-hardy, deer-resistant plant is as resilient as it is beautiful, requiring minimal maintenance once established.

Plant 'Cinderella' milkweed roots in spring, 18 to 24 inches apart and 1½ to 2 inches deep. Since butterfly weed does not transplant well, select its location carefully.

Indigenous to eastern and midwestern North America, swamp milkweed supports biodiversity and thrives naturally in its environment. Native plants require little care, provide essential food and shelter for pollinators and wildlife, and bring natural beauty to your garden.

Sap may cause skin irritation.
