‘Ice Ballet’ is a native perennial milkweed with creamy-white flowers that bloom in clusters above tall, upright stems. It attracts monarchs, bees, and beneficial insects, making it a must-have for pollinator gardens, cut flower growers, and native habitat restorations. This cultivar is a refined, white-blooming alternative to the pink swamp milkweed.
