After storing seeds in the fridge over winter I put the seeds in a ziplock bag inside of a folded moist paper towell and place in a warm spot--always had good germination w/in days. never tried to put the seeds in medium and refridgerate--but I am going to try it starting today. also, this milkweed i am trying to propogate looks nothing like swamp milkweed although when I bought it that is what they called it, and said it was an Ohio native which I believe because I recently found some along the roadside. perhaps it was mislabeled. i will repost an image of the plant. |
