Try planting the milkweed seeds in a pot in early spring. Just barely cover them with potting soil. I have had great success this way the last couple of years. Even using seeds several years old!

I did try in a pot (even buying a live plant), but it died. Probably just as well, because they lay their eggs on the plant so I would have had to leave the dead plant all winter, I expect, so the eggs are kept safe. Not sure I could cope with the pressure of looking after the eggs, tbh. I may not be responsible enough.
