i planted both the pink ones and the white ones april 2014 in brooklyn ny in my familys yard. The pink ones never sprouted but only the white ones did. I think hose are a bad batch. I wished the seller would be reading this.

If they are ACTUALLY milkweed seeds (mine weren't!), stratifying them helps germination. Place them in damp soil in the fridge for a couple of months. Then put them in a warm location to sprout. I know this doesn't help for this year, but I hope it'll help you later. :)

Same here. Peat plantable pots, greenhouse covered(keep moisture in), no sprouts, 3 varieties...I kept them in the refrigerator for 3 weeks before planting.

I haven't planted mine yet. Sometime I have trouble starting them too. I had one that took a year to come up. I have sandy soil which i think they like. May be start them in pots for protection and let them seed naturally where you want then to go. I know they don't transplant well.

I put them on paper towel and soaked in room temperature water for 48 hours then put in the wet soil. I put the pot on the window sill to get sunshine. One sprouted about 1 inch, it was a skinny one then died. I don't know why.

It's still early enough to plant. Make sure you use a good fertilized soil and mulch a few inches deep out to about six inches past the root ball diameter. Water every day until the cold comes. I live in MA and put in 1 gallon plants 4 years ago. They are taller than me and almost 3 feet across at the root ball. 5-6 at the widest point of branch swell. Great plants. I have some 4 inch also and they lag about 1-2 years behind the 1 gallon starters. I get them as Xmas gifts and keep inside until spring. Leave in the pot, use a drip tray and water well. These are amazing to watch grow and very beautiful. And they will get big. Figure 5-6 feet for the mature root ball and up to 10 feet tall. I planted tight for dense screening, but could have gone 5-7 feet apart instead of 3. It's all what you want it to do. Look at pics on the web for scale and plant for maturity, not youth. They grow so fast! Enjoy.

Diane, I know when I planted mine late last year it took awhile for them to come up too. Not knowing how you planted them I'm not sure what's going on. Hopefully you planted them no more than maybe an inch deep in good soil, with at least some sun shine and have been watering them occasionally. If so, they should be popping up soon. The ones I planted this year only got about half as tall as last year before they started to bloom, but they came up quicker. I would rather have the bigger plants. Be patient, I don't think you will be disappointed.

I am no expert. I planted mine in a pot for a month than moved them outside. They are doing great

I bought the seeds but they are not mature enough to bear as yet. I will have to wait at lease a month before they are even close to producing perrpers. Sorry.

Just need to plant them and water asap :). Instructions can be found found on the Mr Stacky website which shows best planting practices. Roots in the ground, crowns just above the soil line. Roots come dormant and coming out of dormancy so they are thirsty when you get them. New signs of growth will happen in 1-3 days. The weight should just be ignored amazons shipping goes on weight which is not accurate with actual USPS rates for shipping live plants so we the seller has to correct it by adding weight.Thank you very much!

Sorry...mine barely sprouted. I might get another packet for this year. Thanks for reminding me anyway.

Unfortunately not one of these seeds ever sprouted for my wife and I.... spend your money elsewhere! Good luck

I am yet to find out. I have delayed in planting because I have been experiencing really weird weather for the past 7 months. I was hoping to plant this month (Jan 2014) but with the very wet weather, the plants may not even grow and I do want to maximize the potential for them to sprout (if they are viable). As soon as I have a response - positive or negative (and hopefully in the next two months) I will post it. My sincere apologies.

I don't know whether or not you can plant these now, but some of mine still sprouted last week since I planted them at May. For my opinion, they are pretty hardy. Maybe you can try to plant them if you live in a sunny and warm area.

May could be late depending on where you are. It should be applied before other non wanted seeds germinate. I try to get it done in early April in the northwest and then again in the fall.

I planted all of the seeds, 5 of them have germinated. There hasn't been time to get any peppers.

the seeds are very small, and you can't start them in the ground until after the last frost has passed, so depending on where you are , it's probably better to start them in a pot

I did not receive beans or peas either. Sorry, I don't know how the seed types are decided. So far though, every seed has sprouted. I created a second set now of other greens etc
