What is the best way to grow milkweed seeds?
I desperately want to have a full-fledged monarch “nursery” and garden this summer, full of common milkweed. I collected lots of pods last fall and now want to plant the seed. I have planted seeds in the past but no luck! A: See answer to question 2 above. If you sow the plants in the fall, they should come up in the spring, but first year plants are smaller and you may miss them. You may want to set aside a place for the milkweed so you see it in the spring, or plant the seeds in pots. They do need to be cold-stratified.
