Swamp Milkweed 'Cinderella'

Asclepias incarnata 'Cinderella

A Kansas native hardy in zones 3-9, this perennial has large, compact clusters of vanilla scented rose-pink flowers from midsummer to early Fall. Hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and other beneficial insects love these flowers.  Deadheading flowers will stimulate another round of blooms a month after the first cycle.  

Harvest: long stems and long vase life makes this great for cut flowers.  Be sure to sear the end of cut stems over a flame to stop the milky sap from leaking out. These can also be used for dried flower arrangements as well.
