Asclepias incarnata 'Soul Mate' (Swamp Milkweed 'Soul Mate') is known for its stunning clusters of pink flowers with white centers and vanilla-like fragrance. Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds. Performs best in full sun and moist to wet soils, but can tolerate average soils. The milky sap released from damaged stems is toxic if ingested.
