Asclepias incarnata
A tall, upright milkweed with rose-coloured flower clusters held above clean green foliage from mid-summer into early autumn. It forms a substantial clump over time and sits naturally in damp-ground plantings and meadow-style borders, where its late-season flowering carries the garden forward.
