So, do you just drop the seeds on the ground or do you cover them with soil? I have a couple of seed pods with seeds in my garage so, I'm sure, they will freeze over the winter..
In KY here we have a section of our backyard that is devoted to milkweed. About a week ago after all this years pods had dried up and released their seeds I mowed over that area to give next years growth a fresh start and don't mow over that area for a year. That has worked well for us and the patch could be much bigger without mowing around the edges.
Last year on the spring growth we had two beautiful Monarch caterpillars but I lost track of them. This year if I see one I'm going to put a protective wire mesh cage around it and hopefully be able to see that amazing metamorphosis into a butterfly.
You should be fine by just breaking open your dried pods and letting the seeds float around into the area you want them to grow.
