Hi, butterfliers--

I just came across this nice concise webpage with basic info on starting various milkweed seed and other popular butterfly nectar flower seed (and I thought I'd share!). (-:

Additionally, for those of us up north, the milkweed (asclepias) seeds that require 'cold stratification' are great candidates for the 'wintersowing' method of seed starting, an easy way to start seeds for the butterfly garden for beginners (like me). Here's the article that explains how to do it: http://davesgarden.com/guides/articles/view/585/

And there are many more informational threads on the Wintersowing Forum. http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/f/coldsow/all

Just wanted to share...!
