If you can't wait, SmartSeeds has them available right now. I bought my C. procera seed from her last year, plus one or two others. 100% germination, she has some of the finest seed around.

My plants are returning from the brink of death (not too long a story...) now that the weather is warming up. If they set seed later in the year, you may have some.

In your zone, you will definitely need to overwinter them or else they'll freeze. From what I've read, they can freeze to the ground, but may sprout back up the next season.

I would like to know how to propagate Giant Milkweed. I have the Gigantea viariety which DOES NOT produce seeds nor is fragrant compared to the Calantropis procera. The gigantea is the one that is velvety, with felt like leaves instead of the green leaves of the Procera. I researched for propagation for a long time but the information about the Procera and the Gigantea are mixed up. When looking up the propagation, they talk about the seeds of the Procera that the Gigantea does not have. Has anybody had success with cuttings and if yes how was it done? Thank You very much.

I know it’s been several years since this feed was started.. I’ve been raising monarch cats/butterflies for the last 4-5 years.. most of the milkweed I have planted is tropical milkweed/Mexican milkweed.. I live in north Florida so my monarch rearing/raising season lasts longer the up the northeast coast... I’ve tried growing common milkweed from seed that i gathered when I visited family up north in northern New York..the seeds stay in my freezer.. I’ve sprouted a few seeds from those I gathered. But they just don’t want to grow like they do up north...so just recently I bought 15 seeds of calotropis procera off etsy from a vendor of this plant not far from me...i got 2 seeds to sprout and they are growing.. I know it will be several years to grow this plant to be able to substain the caterpillars I collect..and can’t wait to help this magnificent butterfly to survive
