This is our only milkweed of truly wet ground, often in several centimeters of water: edges of rivers and streams; shores, wet prairies; openings in conifer swamps, fens (less often bogs); depressions in forests, swales and ditches, meadows.
One of our showiest species in its deep color. The leaves are usually smaller and narrower than in A. exaltata, green (not glaucous) beneath.
