Flat contains: 32 plugs Asclepias incarnata Swamp milkweed (A. incarnata) is a tall plant with fragrant, showy clusters of pink and light purple flowers.

Flat contains: 32 plugs Asclepias speciosa Showy Milkweed is closely related with the common milkweed, A. syriaca, with which it sometimes hybridizes at the eastern limits of its distribution. Showy milkweed tends to grow at higher altitude than common milkweed. These species are similar in appearance and growth form (tall and robust), but showy milkweed can be distinguished by the layer of fine white hairs and flowers that look like small crowns. Can grow in coarse, medium, and fine soils....
