Asclepias incarnata (Swamp Milkweed) [20 Seeds]

Germination Information: I recommend these seeds for experienced seed-starters only, because they may require some patience. The easiest approach is to sow the seeds—barely covered with growing medium—in fall to late winter, setting them outdoors in a spot protected from mice so they can get a chilling period and then germinate when conditions are right in spring. (The winter-sowing approach can work well with these seeds.)

If you sow after February, give the pot an artificial chilling period of about a month.

It is possible that these seeds could germinate if you sow them in warm, moist, bright conditions, though you may get fewer seedlings that way. If you try that and no seedlings appear within 3 weeks or so, then try the artificial chilling period as mentioned above before moving them back to warmth and light.

Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.

Please read the description as well before ordering.
