{"product_id":"cinderella-swamp-milkweed-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Cinderella Swamp Milkweed - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eCinderella is a native swamp milkweed that offers about three months of vanilla-scented, rose pink flowers in large clusters from midsummer into early fall. Deadheading the first round brings another flush about a month later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe flowers are loaded with nectar and pollen, drawing monarchs and other butterflies, hummingbirds and bees, and the leaves feed monarch caterpillars. It grows three to five feet tall and is easy care in sunny spots with average to wet soil, including rain gardens and pond edges. Deer leave it alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRounded, flat-topped clusters 3 to 4 inches across of many small, star-shaped flowers in rose pink with paler pink crowns, held at the tips of tall, branching stems. Leaves are narrow, lance-shaped, smooth and medium green, paired along stiff, upright stems. The plant is an upright, vase-shaped clump 3 to 5 feet tall and 1 to 3 feet wide. At peak bloom the top of the plant is dotted with pink clusters busy with butterflies. Slender upright seed pods follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSwamp milkweed likes sun but wants much more moisture than lavender, so plant it in a rain garden, near a downspout or along a pond edge rather than in the dry lavender bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGrow in full sun in average to consistently moist soil; it thrives in wet spots but adapts to ordinary garden soil. Hardy in USDA zones 3-9. It emerges late in spring, so mark its location; deadhead the first flowers to encourage a second bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Asclepias incarnata\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Medium green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Upright, vase-shaped clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 36 in–5 ft tall × 12–36 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-July\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
