Asclepias incarnata 'Ice Ballet'

Asclepias incarnata 'Ice Ballet' is a fantastic variety that is extremely attractive to butterflies and hummingbirds. The white flowers bloom in mid-summer to early fall. After the flowers have finished blooming interesting seed pods are produced that when opened expose seeds with long, silvery-white, silky hairs. The milkweeds are very important food sources for both larval and adult butterflies, making them some of the most sought-after plants here in our garden center! U.S. native.
