This swamp milkweed cultivar is an erect, clump-forming plant which typically grows 3-3.5' tall on branching stems and is basically a compact, white-flowered form of the pink/mauve-flowered Missouri native species. Small, mildly fragrant, white flowers (1/4" wide), each with five reflexed petals and an elevated central crown, appear in tight clusters at the stem ends in summer. Narrow, lance-shaped leaves are 3-6" long. Stems exude a toxic milky sap when cut.
