Rose Milkweed - Heirloom Asclepias

Gardener’s Notes: Sow seeds outdoors in fall in average, well-drained soil. In cold climates, seeds will germinate in spring. Alternatively, cold stratify by placing seeds in a damp paper towel in a plastic bag, refrigerating for 30-60 days. Plant 1/4 inch deep in seed-starting mix and move to a warm, bright area. Keep moist until seedlings appear in 14 to 21 days. Thin or transplant tap-rooted seedlings 12 to 18 inches apart when large enough. Foliage dies back in winter, re-emerging in spring. Hardy to USDA Zone 3.
