Perfect nectar source for Monarch Butterflies, here's how I grow mine.
These seeds germinate pretty quickly for a milkweed seed. Here's how I germinated mine: 1. December 2. Placed the seeds in a baggie, together with 1 teaspoon of water, a few drops of peroxide and 2 tablespoons of Pearlite. Then I put the baggie & seed mixture in my refrigerator. 2. December 6. I put the baggie of seeds into a dark cupboard (above my stove). Usually when I do this the seeds sprout within a matter of days - so I checked my baggie every day to make sure my seeds weren't sprouting. 3. December 25. I took my seeds out of the cupboard, they had not yet sprouted (but that's OK). I put them into a milk-jug greenhouse. Then I put my milk-jug greenhouse outside. It's easy to find instructions to make these greenhouses (try Google-ing " milk-jug greenhouse"). I use a mixture of garden potting soil with about an inch of seed starting mix on top in my jugs. The picture of my sprouted seeds, some of them have their second set of leaves was taken on January 5th. So a little more than a month from start to being ready to transplant into the garden. This particular batch is going to stay in the milk-jug until the second week in February, as I am in zone 9b and that is a good time for me to transplant them with little fear of frost. I am going to start a second growth of these seeds because I like to stagger my plantings. I have a Monarch Waystation in Florida and when the Monarchs are laying eggs and hatching they go through quite a bit of Milkweed.

I am looking forward to planting the milkweed plants in the spring
I have not used the seeds yet . I really am not able to verify that the seeds are good or bad I will have to wait for the spring season to know for sure. The shipping time was good .Verified purchase: Yes

Exactly what was described
I ordered these seeds for my kids to grow milkweed this year, and they're currently in the freezer. I won't really know until later in the year whether they're successful, but it's a cheap, and worthwhile project for my kids, and the instructions which arrived with the seeds were easy to follow.Verified purchase: Yes
