Easy and quick to grow if you follow the directions. For stratification, I wrapped the seeds in a moist paper towel, sealed in a plastic bag, in the fridge for 2-3 weeks. Had 100% germination success rate. Plants grew quickly, even through a few periods of neglect. And the butterflies love them! If you want to help save the monarch butterfly population, grow milkweed in your garden.

Did not germinate at all. Disappointed. I am not a beginner gardener.

I had such a nice growth of this Milkweed in my side yard this year. I should have stratified in the fridge for a higher germination rate, but I was a novice Milkweed gardener and chose to sow the seeds in early Spring. I already have more seeds from Botanical interest to sow this fall and some to germinate in the fridge, because my plants are covered in Monarch caterpillars and I am so excited! The plants didn't flower this year, but I've heard that's normal and maybe because the side yard isn't quite enough sun. I'm so happy seeing Monarchs in my flower patches and their caterpillars eating this Milkweed. I have even sent seeds to friends to get more people growing Milkweed to help the Monarchs.

Would you kindly copy the More Info you have inside the seed packet on this website? Thank you.

great seeds

I bought this packet at sprouts because I saw a butterfly on it. As simple as that. I bought the little pods to stick one seed in and I put 8 pods to germinate inside for two weeks. 7 plants popped up. I gave a was two and two and kept three. I was waiting to find homes for them because they grow up to 6 ft. So I figured by the time they were older to be plotted out I would have found homes. But three days ago butterflies started coming around they're about 10 inches tall very hearty. They got infested with red aphids but I washed them off and were fine. Then I notice the butterflies targeting it apart from the other plants. And then I saw it put its bottom on the bottom of a leaf. So now I am excited for this years gardening journey with butterflies. I have found a full sun area to plant them in for their homes. The people who received my other milkweed are excited as well. We went to a local butterfly garden to buy extra milkweed.

I'm a beginner gardener, especially starting from seed, and I wasn't even sure if I'd have success with it especially the whole stratification process seemed really daunting. Well, I've got to monarch caterpillars so far!! I have 4 plants(I think that's all that I got to germinate) and they are doing amazing!! I'm so surprised because our soil is soooooo sandy here and even though I've mixed in compost and top soil as peat to amend the soil it's still quite sandy but it is thriving nonetheless! One plant is getting ready to flower as well! I think I might want to move the plants to a slightly different location next year and dont know if transplanting will work or not but I'll worry about that later. Great seeds!

I followed directions on package - nothing bloomed :(

I got a lot of babies to put on. I did a winter sowing method and I'm glad That I did. I didn't really understand stratification but I inadvertently did it by winter sowing in a 5 gallon jug.
