The A. curassavica is only hardy to 9a, but the A. tuberosa is hardy in your area. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/73/
I bought a "Silky Gold" A. curassavica my first milkweed and loved it; only to be dissapointed that none came back the next year. Others tell me that before the frost hits they take cuttings and bring them in to root them so they have plants for the next year. I don't do well with over-wintering as yet. :-(
