I tried wintersowing a bunch of different kinds of milkweed this year in hopes of attracting monarchs...A. tuberosa, A. fruticosa, A. incarnata (Ice Ballet & Soul Mate) & A. curassavica. All I managed to wind up with was 2 seedlings of Ice Ballet to plant. At least it wasn't a total loss.

Maggie, I would love to give both your orange & yellow curassavica a try. I know a lot of Northerners grow it as an annual for the b'flys :0)

any other milkweeds would be welcome as well.

I should have obedient plant 'Pink Bouquet' in time to send. It's the first year in my garden. I guess it tends to gets a bit agressive, but you could always deadhead to keep it in check. it's awfully pretty and the bees adore it.
