I have a bunch of Asclepias Syriaca seeds that someone sent me last Spring. I would be happy to mail you some if your rooting fails. At any rate, please keep us posted. Sometimes just trying again results in success. I use Vermiculite as my rooting medium so it is sterile. It holds water but not too much. I have never tried to root milkweed. I just moved into a new house and have A. Syriaca, A. tuberosa and A. incarnata plants growing which I started from seed this Spring. I hope they are big enough for monarchs next Summer.

Good luck,
