    When you really look closely at an Asclepius blossom, it is incredible how intricate they are! The beautiful, deep-rose pink flowers of this fine selection are borne in large clusters on 3' stems, perfect for cutting! This fine near-native is a real winner for rain, garden, meadow or border. Asclepias are the only larval food for the magnificent Monarch butterfly, planting Milkweed ensures a food source for these important pollinators. S/M-W

    A similar cultivar to 'Ice Ballet' but with white flowers set in dark red bracts. Great for average, moist or wet gardens and butterfly lovers. Deer resistant.
