Question
I just posted a series of pictures of my purple milkweed. I am fortunate to have at least 3 healthy, large seed pods in development. My questions for you are these: 1. When should I separate the seedpod from the host plant? 2. When should I remove the individual seeds from each seed pod? 3. Once removed, separated and dried, what is the best technique to overwinter the seeds limiting mold risk but not having them dry out completely. Appreciate any and all advice. Gary
Answer
Dear Gary, good morning. I need more background/context to answer your question. Perhaps you could contact me at ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org to initiate a conversation about the beautiful milkweed plants that you have posted images of. Looking forward to connecting more about the seed collection. Best wishes.
