Re: Asclepias curassavica

You can always try to germinate the seeds w/o
stratifying them.  If they don't germinate, then
stratify them.  I have thought the same thing with
subtropical/tropical plants, too.  I tried growing
fresh Osmanthus fragrans seed.  After unsuccessful
germination in the seed room, I gave them a couple of
months of cold in the fridge.  They germinated a
couple weeks after that.

good luck!
