I planted 6 milkweed seeds I sprouted on a wet paper towel. All of them grew after I planted them in some 4" pots after a few days of germinating in a heated humidity tent. It seems like the key is to cut or scratch the husk, and keep them moist, but not in a condition that'll rot the husk away after a few days.
I think you could have a really high success rate by prepping the seeds, then scattering them onto a thin layer of straw or grass clippings just on top of some bare soil. You might be able to get a hundred of them to grow with some pretty minimal effort.
If you just plant them in the ground, chances are they won't grow at all.
