Tell Me More...
Asclepias incarnata Cinderella is a magnet for butterflies which are attracted by clusters of bright flowers and copious amounts of nectar, enjoying the feast, they really do have a ball.Blooming continuously from mid-summer to autumn atop branching stems of narrow leaves, clustered umbels of vanilla scented, rose-pink flowers create an impressively bright display throughout the summer, are excellent cut and brought indoors to enjoy in your home. Intriguing seed pods are formed in autumn, which open to reveal their treasure, covered in silky silvery hairs, which are excellent when used in dried flower arrangements. Also known as Swamp Milkweed because the stems release a milky sap when cut.Asclepias are extremely drought tolerant so perfect for containers and borders, preferring to be grown in moist, well-drained soil in sun. Reaching a height of approximately 90cm, spreading to 60cm when mature, Asclepias are hardy herbaceous perennials that will die back each winter, in preparation for sprouting again each spring, with no winter protection required.
