Hummingbird and Butterfly Gardening: Do you root cuttings of your tropical milkweed?, 1 by tabasco

I recently heard that it was possible to root cuttings of Asclepias 'curassavica'/Tropical Milkweed 'Silky Red' and 'Silky Gold'---Has anyone been successful with propagating this way?

For those of us up north who love this MW for the butterflies and our sunny borders, we could possibly take cuttings now and overwinter them, then start out in the springtime with some nice sized plants for the BFs.

Come to think of it, what about Asclepias tuberosa? Another cuttings possibility?

Does this make any sense? Anybody know?

(Or maybe I should post this on the Propagation or Perennial Forums...?)

thanks. t.
