Cephalanthus occidentalis (Buttonbush) [15 Seeds]

Germination Information: I recommend these seeds only for gardeners who have experience with seeds that benefit from or require a chilling period. The easiest 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, give the pot an artificial chilling period of about 3 months.

It is possible that these seeds could germinate (though perhaps at a less than optimal rate) if you start them in warm, bright conditions. But if you try that and no seedlings appear in 2 to 3 weeks, then try the artificial chilling period.

Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.

Please read the description as well before ordering.
