Description: Essential butterfly plants! Milkweeds are the only host plants for Monarch butterflies and are a nectar source as well. The leaves contain a toxic milky sap that is ingested by the Monarch caterpillars, making them undesirable to predators, such as birds. 'Ice Ballet' is a Swamp Milkweed with vanilla-scented, lilac-white flowers in mid-summer, followed by distinctive and decorative seed pods. Deer-resistant.
