Cephalanthus occidentalis (Buttonbush) [15 Seeds]
$4.25
Germination Information: According to some sources, these seeds require a chilling period, and one approach is to sow the seeds (just barely covered with growing medium) in fall to mid winter, setting their pot outdoors in a spot protected from mice so they can get a natural chilling period and then germinate when conditions are right in spring.
If you sow after January, consider giving the pot an artificial chilling period of about 3 months.
It is also possible that these seeds could germinate if you start them in warm, bright conditions. This past year, I sowed in a pot outdoors on June 23 and they germinated on July 9! Your experience may vary.
Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.
