Swamp milkweed is a long-lived, slow-growing perennial with fragrant pink/purple flowers. The downy parachutes (comas) that are attached to the seed are incredibly light in the air and buoyant in the water, but are 5x warmer than wool. The swamp milkweed is fairly deer-resistant and is known for attracting the monarch and queen butterflies.
