My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Asclepias incarnata 'Cinderella'

17 years ago

I purchased a packet of the above from Park Seeds. The packet gives no info regarding germination time, merely telling me to plant indoors 6-8 weeks before last frost (yeah, I'm a little late) and keep at about 70 deg F. I have a suspicion they're not telling me the whole story.

Cold moist stratification, right? How long do I want to keep the seeds in the fridge for, and then how long before I can look for them to germinate? TIA!
