I don't know about free, but Monarch Watch is selling seedlings in plug form by the flat. You'd need to put in an order for next year. You might want to check out the seed exchange to see whether anyone there has milkweed seed available.

Livemonarch.org. I get my milkweed seeds from them. Just send a sase and a donation if you you prefer but it's not needed. They send the envelope back with seeds and a little brochure about the monarchs!!
