Hi everyone,

Has anyone started milkweed in the winter in colder climates? I have some beautiful seeds but I'm wondering if I can plant them now, or if I should wait until spring? I'm in zone 5b.

I've also read that they can be started in pots and the transplanted when the weather warms up--anyone have experience with this?

It's my first baby steps planting milkweed, and I'd like to get it right the first time around, for the sake of the Monarchs!
