Has anyone tried winter sowing a. incarnata? I've done a lot of winter sowing, mostly years ago, and had planned to collect seeds from my three purchased a. incarnata plants and one volunteer. So I should have plenty of seeds and hoped to do a mix of scattering them and winter sowing. It seems like these would be perfect for ws, and terrene, I'm glad to read that it worked well for a. tuberosa, and really glad to read that the monarchs liked the small, new plants so much. Also, for anyone who has direct sown these, did you do it in fall or wait until spring?

Hi there, fellow milkweed growers and butterfly lovers! I've started a thread on the Seed Exchange where those who wish more gardeners would incorporate milkweed into their flowerbeds and plantings can come together to share seeds with those who have never grown milkweed before. If you are interested in joining, please check out the thread. Adopt a Milkweed Newbie Happy Gardening!

I adopted fatkats in the Adopt-a-Milkweed-Newbie thread. She sent stamps quickly through the mail with a nice card. I hope she enjoys adding the seeds I sent her to butterfly gardens.

I adopted sullivann in the Adopt-a-Milkweed-Newbie thread. He sent stamps as requested for the adoption quickly and with a nice note. I hope he enjoys adding the seeds I sent back to his butterfly garden.
