Description / Asclepias 'Ice Ballet' Milkweed

Bring elegance to your garden with Asclepias 'Ice Ballet,' a native perennial milkweed that grows 36 to 48 inches tall and blooms throughout summer into fall. Its unique pure white flower clusters brim with nectar, attracting butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden. The plant's lush leaves also nourish monarch caterpillars, making it a vital addition to any pollinator-friendly landscape. The flowers and decorative seedpods are perfect for both fresh and dried floral arrangements.

As a Asclepias incarnata species, also known as butterfly weed, milkweed, or swamp milkweed, 'Ice Ballet' thrives in Zones 3-9. It's excellent for moist garden borders, wetland-inspired plantings, or even container gardens. Its stunning blooms and graceful foliage are sure to draw admiration.

This moisture-loving native flourishes in full sun and medium to wet soils but adapts to average garden soil as long as it receives consistent moisture. But 'Ice Ballet' is somewhat drought tolerant once it is well established. Naturally deer resistant and low maintenance, 'Ice Ballet' is a reliable choice for gardeners seeking beauty with ecological benefits.

Plant 'Ice Ballet' milkweed roots in spring, spacing them 12 to 16 inches apart and 1½ to 2 inches deep. Choose the planting site carefully, as butterfly weed plants do not transplant well once established.

Native to North America, swamp milkweed is a sustainable choice for gardeners. Its adaptability, pollinator support, and natural pest control benefits make it an essential addition to eco-conscious landscapes.

Sap may cause skin irritation.
