Swamp Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata)

Asclepias incarnata is a beautiful native plant found in Wisconsin, and despite its name, it is far from a typical weed. Thriving in wet habitats like marshes and along riverbanks, Swamp Milkweed is neither invasive nor unwanted. With its lovely pink flowers and graceful appearance, it provides nectar for butterflies and serves as a crucial host plant for Monarch caterpillars. Unlike ordinary weeds, Swamp Milkweed contributes positively to both garden aesthetics and the local ecosystem, making it an excellent choice for natural landscaping. Proud “cheese heads” in Wisconsin will find our Swamp Milkweed seeds for sale to be a perfect addition to their gardens, uniquely adapted to the state’s diverse wetland environments.

Poke Milkweed (Asclepias exaltata)

Poke Milkweed (Asclepias exaltata) is another native species found in Wisconsin, often gracing the woodlands and forest edges. Now, don’t let the name fool you; this isn’t a plant that cows like to poke! In fact, Poke Milkweed is no ordinary weed at all. With its elegant clusters of white to greenish-white flowers, it stands tall and proud, just like a Wisconsin “cow poke” standing guard over the dairy herd. Jokes aside, Poke Milkweed is a valuable addition to native gardens, attracting pollinators and supporting Monarch butterflies without being invasive. So, whether you’re a gardener, nature lover, or just a proud “cheese head” with a sense of humor, our Poke Milkweed seeds are ready for planting in Wisconsin’s unique landscapes!
