Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Asclepias seeds benefit from stratification, a process of cold treatment to break dormancy. You can simulate this by placing seeds in a damp paper towel inside a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks before planting.

Sowing:

Sow seeds indoors in early spring or directly outdoors after the last frost. Press seeds lightly into the soil surface or cover with a light layer of soil.

Germination:

Germination typically occurs within 10-20 days when kept consistently moist at around 70°F (21°C).

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have several sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them into their permanent location, spacing them according to the specific variety's mature size.

Care and Maintenance:

Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged until established.
Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding if desired.
