How many seeds did you say?

The shipment arrived on time, but it took a while before I could get 10 or more days above 40 deg! The package said 200 seeds, but it didn't look like it unless there were 4 or 5 seeds to a pod. We'll see when they come up.

showy milkweed seeds

These are not ready for planting; they must be chilled for a month. I would much prefer a "best before" date was included and that they were ready to plant when shipped. Also, I paid $7 for shipping when the cost was just 70 cents with no tracking available because it was just an envelope. My other milkweed is blooming and I can't even get these in the ground yet, AND I overpaid, so yeah, nothing great to say at the moment. Crossing fingers they will sprout when planted and that they'll set some roots for NEXT year.

Good germination rate

I agree, no hot soak (omg no!) or even refrigerator chill is necessary, this product has a great germination rate without treatment. I have tried several brands and this is by far the best company. I buy them for my child's class project and when ready to plant in pots, we roll the seeds up in damp paper towels, then once they sprout put them in pre-soaked peat pellet pots. They send down a quick taproot so transfer them without the netting into a much larger pot where they will take off! We put a dozen in a larger pot and then when they are a foot tall transplant them in groups of 2-3 into gardens. They need water to establish but they are such an asset to flower gardens you will be delighted! This is great food for monarch butterfly caterpillars and other pollinators alike, a great school project.
