Collecting Milkweed Seeds 101

9/19/2018

76 Comments

 
Fall is a great time to collect your Milkweed seeds and there are many things you can do with your harvested seeds. You can save them for next year, give them to friends and family, share with your community or donate them to your favorite Monarch conservation organization!

If you missed out on collecting them in the Fall, you might just get lucky and find some seeds still hanging on in the Spring! This is great because they have already gone through nature's cold stratification period, also known as winter. 

Where should I collect? You can collect Milkweed pods from your own garden, on private lands (with permission), public right-of-ways and road sides. 

What if I'm not sure how if it's a Milkweed plant? All milkweed species develop a seed pod and they look very similar. Refer to the Milkweed Identification blog if you're not sure how to identify Milkweed.
​
How much should I collect? The rule of thumb for harvesting wild plants is to leave at least 2/3rds of the plant to ensure that the wild population will continue to thrive. 

Step 1: Collecting the Milkweed Pods

Picture
The perfect time to harvest the pods is when they are just starting to pop at the sutures and the seeds are brown.
PictureA milkweed seed pod that is mature and starting to release it's seeds.
Timing is key when collecting milkweed seeds. Here are a couple of tricks to ensure that your seeds are mature and viable.

If the pod is brown and has already popped open releasing their silky fluff, also called coma, you know that they are ready and you can harvest them and remove the fluff later.
​
However, if you want to avoid the fluff and be able to take the seeds off neatly and easily, here is a little trick.

I look for green seed pods and the first thing I do is squeeze the seed pod. If I hear a gentle pop and see that the pod has split at the suture, then I look inside. If the seeds are a nice toffee brown then I know they are mature and I can collect the pod. However, If the seeds are white or tan, I don’t collect them and let them continue to mature on the plant.
​
Milkweed seeds can mold easily so I like to use a breathable paper bag or cardboard box when I'm out collecting. 

Step 2- Removing the Seeds from the Husk

This is a fun and relaxing activity. I’ve already collected my light green seed pods that have row after row of beautiful tightly packed seeds. I let them sit for about 2 weeks so they are dry and easy to remove. I squeeze the pod until it pops open at the suture and grab the narrow end of the pod. Then, I gently pull until the seed follicle comes out of the pod. I then rake my finger nail along the seed follicle, going WITH the grain of the seeds. They should pop right out!
To see a video of this process click here. 

Step 3- Drying

Picture
After you remove the seeds, you’ll want to let them dry out for 3 days to a week. I like to let them dry on cardboard in a well-ventilated area. A porch, mudroom, barn, or shed works well for this. If you are harvesting in the Spring, you can most likely skip this part unless it is after a rain. 

Step 4- Storage

Picture
Once they have dried out, I store them in small manilla envelopes and date them. I do not store them in plastic bags because this will often cause them to mold since it is not a breathable material. 

Step 5: Cold Stratification

After you have dried your seeds, you can place them in a cold, dry place for the winter so they can go through a cold stratification period. This will increase their germination rates. Another option is to sow them in the ground in the late fall so they naturally go through a stratification period. 

You Can Donate Your Seeds To Save Our Monarchs Foundation

If YOU have seeds to donate from your own plantings, you can: 

1) Donate it to Save our Monarchs via postal mail
        Save Our Monarchs Foundation
        P.O. Box #390135
        Minneapolis, MN  55439

2) Save them for the following year and plant in the spring after a period of cold stratification. 

3) Sow them in the ground in the fall or winter and they will sprout in the spring!

4) Distribute to friends and family!

A period of cold stratification will increase their germination rate. Most seed companies recommend a 30-60 day cold stratification period. I posted a blog on cold stratifying seeds here https://www.saveourmonarchs.org/som-blog/its-time-to-start-cold-stratifying-your-milkweed-seeds

I’ve planted milkweed seeds over a 3 year period. I tried to place them to make the shape of a heart. After 2 winters in southern New England (it wasn’t cold enough until this Past winter 2020-2021) and they ALL came up at once!! You can plant them in the spring summer but the best time to plant seeds is in the fall, in a well draining but moist soil so it doesn’t get rotten by wet winter weather but, they have fared quite nicely even in a wet spring.
But just be patient if they don’t come up the first year. Sometimes it just takes an extra winter or cold period in order for them to sprout and by the second year the plants are flowering. Just be SURE to collect seed pods from your milkweed, they WILL overtake & choke out other plants if they are too Close to them!
It’s worth it to have butterflies & hummingbirds living in the transition zone from city to rural land. They are here from may through October.
Happy gardening!

Milkweed bugs have short life cycles and they don't harm Monarchs but they can be a nuisance. They are native insects and have also evolved with the milkweed plant. Therefore, there is no reason to disrupt their native habitat.

You just cover the pods AFTER the flowers fall off. At that stage the butterflies have already gotten all they can. They can still lay eggs and the caterpillars can eat the leaves.

I only sell wild-grown seed collected on my own land. To avoid the blown away seed problem with milkweed, I find seed pods while they're quite green and place drawstring bags over them. Problems solved! When the seed pods are ready, I simply cut them off the stem (i.e., leaving the pods in the bags) and hang the bags up by their drawstrings to air-dry. There are probably any number places to buy sturdy little bags -- or, you could make them ,-- but I purchase them from a dollar store, where they are 8 for $1, or 12 1/2 cents apiece. They're reusable from year to year. I usually find these bags as "favors bags" in the baby shower section. (Why babies would need favors, I have no idea. . .)

I use sections of lady’s stockings. I also use a twist tie to hold the on the stem. This allows the pod to breathe and keeps the MW bugs off. I just give them a gentle squeeze to determine when they’ve split.

It depends on the species of the milkweed plant that you would like to transport. There are over 70 different species of milkweed. Here is a map so that you can see what types of milkweed are appropriate to each region. You will want to choose one that will grow in MN and also FL without transporting an invasive such as Tropical Milkweed.

I purchased 3 different milkweed variety seeds to start up here in the North Eastern region. All were stratified for 4 + weeks in the refrigerator and I'm trying different germination methods. What I've noticed so far is that the Common Milkweed do OK, the Butterfly Weed has a very low germination rate where as the Swamp Milkweed germinated fast but the seeds also mold just as fast. The other previous 2 types don't mold, only the Swamp seeds. Do you have any tips to stop the seeds from molding as they germinate? Thank you for any tips you can pass along :)

Hi Cindy!
Thank you for your question. I have also experienced seeds molding in the fridge but they still germinated well enough. Have you tried stratifying the seeds in vermiculture or seed starting mix? It's a little bit trickier to avoid making a mess and maintaining moisture levels but I did notice there was less mold. Another method that I've read about but haven't tried yet is actually sprouting the seeds in a bag of room temperature rain/snow water. Here is the blog I am referring to :https://monarchbutterflygarden.net/cold-moist-stratification-milkweed-seeds/
Best of luck!

Thank you for getting back to me Rebecca. I will try the stratifying in a sterile seed starting mix. I have tried the baggy method from this site. Even added the H2O2. The Swamp M. again germinated fast but rotted at the same time. It may be the quality of the seeds I purchased too, so I'll try buying more from another source and give your suggestion a go. :)

I wouldn't plant the whole pod, they would sprout together and croud each other out. It would be more work to thin them out. I'm in CO and just sprinkle a good amount where I want them and replace the mulch or add a layer of leaves. This has worked well for me. They get planted just before our first frost so no need to treat them. For public places and such just leave the fluff and throw them to the wind, or like you said just toss them without the fluff.

I have had good success germinating my seeds by placing them in a small plastic container with a few rough rocks, and shaking them, to scratch the tough outer coating. Then I soak them overnight in a weak chamomile tea, the tannins in the tea help the seed to sprout, and helps prevent mold. Then plant them.

Hi Lisa,
Currently, there are not a lot of studies done on the long-term viability of species-specific Milkweeds. There was a study done on Showy Milkweed (Comes et. al. 1978) that concluded a seed viability of over 5 years stored at room temperature in a dry environment. Also, according to the Royal Botanical Gardens Kew (2014), milkweeds will remain viable for over a year. The two main factors and temperature and moisture content. If your seeds have been stored in the freezer with little to no moisture content then the answer is yes, we will accept them and they should be viable. If you do send them in, please date them as well. Thank you!

We used to have thousands of milkweeds everywhere. Now they are almost all gone. I found a small stand, and harvested a few pods, and am sharing them with a few eager friends and family members. I'm excited to try to renew what used to be a wildflower/wildlife haven! I'm curious if the salt that is used on roads in winter could be part of what's killing the plants (milkweed, tiger lilies, elderberries, etc...)?

Reply
Rebecca
10/9/2019 12:33:37 pm

Hi Lois,
That's a very interesting question!
I found this from Monarch Joint Venture, "Studies have shown that roadsides can suffer from heavy metal accumulation from car wear-and-tear and residual leaded gasoline emissions. In northern states, sodium from road salt application can accumulate along roadsides, and exhaust emissions can elevate levels of nitrogen. These chemicals can make their way into the leaves and nectar of plants growing next to the road." (https://monarchjointventure.org/roadsidehabitat/frequently-asked-questions-monarchs-and-roadsides)
Also, this article by Smithsonian magazine relates to your question. "A study released in 2014 found that roadside plants contain much higher levels of salt than other plants of the same species, which can alter the development of the butterflies that feed on them. Emilie Snell-Rood, an associate professor in ecology, evolution and behavior at the University of Minnesota, says that some milkweed in particular had up to 30 times more sodium either absorbed inside or stuck to the outside of the plants."(https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/road-salt-can-disrupt-ecosystems-and-endanger-humans-180963393/#ailexl8bcV49SJW0.99)

I finally found milkweed to harvest, I used to have a lot out where I live on the Oregon Idaho border area but I think my ditch company is spraying it. I separated the seed from pods, some seed is a little damp as it was not fully open pods. Should I dry it fully for a week or two and then scatter around my property and let nature do the rest? We have had 20 degree temps for a few days or is it too cold now ?

I have about 30 plants (Butterfly Weed) that I grew from seeds (purchased in a packet from Home Depot). Last year I had a few seed pods and a couple of Monarchs and even 2 Cats. This year I have about 50 pods so far (It's June 13 today) and NO Monarchs or Cats. I have actually seen only about a dozen Butterflies of any kind so far this season. Four years ago when I started the Butterfly planting. I planted a Butterfly bush. I had 100's of Butterflies and about 15-20 varieties. Last year I added a Butterfly garden and it dropped tremendously. I am wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that they have developed a huge meadow nearby, along with a smaller one 1/4 mile away, and strip cleared acres of forest nearby!

Thank you for your question. If your milkweed plants produced flowers then they will produce a pod.

I have about 15 milkweed growing around my home as landscaping. We grow herbs and tomatoes in the same landscaping beds. The milkweed plants were given to us at a farm show. The milkweed is two years old and growing like crazy. It is bery beautiful. Then to my horror as I was reading about how to care for the plants in the fall I saw many articles that it is a very dangerous neurotoxic plant. It is growing right by my house and its seeds blow directly onto my food. Should I be concerned?

Two years ago I discovered a lone milkweed plant amongst my flowers. I left it be, and later noticed monarch cats on it. I have a relative who raises monarchs, so with her guidance, I raised and released 12 monarch butterflies. One had wrinkled wings and was not able to fly. I kept him (2 black dots on his wings) alive for days with oranges. However when he drank some cola, he died. The next year I was pumped to have more beautiful chrysalises (LOVE the little jewels around the edge, which no one seems to know what they are.) But the plant now seems to produce small leaves, on top of the big leaves, and No monarchs seem to lay eggs (although they fly around it). My app, to identify plants, says it is a milkweed. And now some thing stripped every leaf. Has anyone else had this happen? I am going to plant more milkweed, because it was so neat to have them change to butterflies, sit on my hands till their wings dried, and then fly away!

In NW WI, we have found Poke Milkweed to be superior for first-appearing Monarchs. I found 9 large larvae just on one stem. I had to move 1/2 because they were totally denuding the stem. Larvae first appeared in the flower head. We have lots of "common" plants, but I think we had larvae about 10-1 on Poke milkweed. It comes up sooner and flowers sooner. Maybe that is why it is preferred here.

Most of the common milkweed pods around my area - and there are many - are being affected by something that, I believe, is eating the seeds while still in the pod. Brown pods are full of what looks like nothing but frass. Pods that aren't mature are often half rotted inside. I've observed small white "maggots" inside these pods. I can't find anything online about them.
