Native Pink Milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), has specific soil preferences that cater to its native habitat:

Soil Type: It thrives in moist, well-drained soils and can tolerate a range of soil types, including loamy, sandy, and clay soils, as long as there is good drainage. While it prefers moist soil, it does not like to be waterlogged.

pH Level: Pink Milkweed prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil with a pH range of about 6.0 to 7.5.

Moisture: It does well in wet soils, especially near water bodies such as ponds, wetlands, or stream banks. However, it can also tolerate moderately dry soil once established, though it will not perform as well in dry conditions.

Soil Fertility: This plant is not particularly demanding regarding soil fertility but benefits from soils rich in organic matter.

In summary, Pink Milkweed prefers moist, well-drained soils with moderate fertility, typically found in wetlands or along water's edge, and it does best with consistent moisture.
