The Mexican milkweed, swamp milkweed or soldier's milkweed is a shrub with attractive and fragrant flowers that also attract Monarch butterflies, making it an ideal plant for gardens and balconies. These butterflies lay their eggs on it, and the caterpillars feed on the plant. Its flowers vary in color, from dark purple to soft pink, although white-flowered varieties can also be found.

The species Asclepias incarnata belongs to the genus Asclepias, which includes around 150 species. Specifically, Mexican milkweed originates in North America, but it can also be found in northern Africa.
