@Snuggle2476@mas.to yes, I stratified them by putting them on a piece of damp paper towel in a bag in the fridge for about a month (maybe more like 6 weeks). Then I planted 1-2 seeds each in a peat cup and germinated them in a small seed starting greenhouse just sitting in front of a south-facing window. I had maybe 15 such cups with milkweed (some common and some butterfly weed), about half of them had sprouts and I managed to get 6 or 7 cups into the ground after hardening off.

@Snuggle2476@mas.to and I think most of the ones that made it into the ground are still around. Several got eaten early in the season and I think one didn't come back, but the rest did. I think there are 5 or 6 plants (not counting the ones that either duplicated themselves or that had two seeds sprouting together). Some of them are hiding in the chamomile so I don't keep track of them all.
