Cold Stratification for Better Germination:
Butterfly Milkweed seeds benefit from cold stratification. To improve germination, place seeds on a damp paper towel, roll it up, and store in the refrigerator for 2–3 weeks before sowing. This process mimics winter conditions and helps encourage stronger, more consistent sprouting.
