I have a milkweed seed pod from a very helpful local wildlife conservationist. I don't recall what it is (probably common milkweed, it's definitely not swamp).

The only place in my yard where it will get a lot of sun would be a section of grass. I don't mind getting rid of some grass to make room, but how should I go about that? If I cardboard it or similar, it will take a month or more, which might make it too late to plant?

How long will the seeds in the pod stay viable?

I cut out about 10 square feet (will make it a little bigger, probably) of sod and moved it to a more bare patch in the yard. I'll open the pod and put the seeds in the dirt and hope for the best.
