| I've tried twice now to grow Buddleia Honeycomb - yellow globe. My other Budds have seeded and grown in nearby pots with no help from me. I'm using Miracle Grow plant starting mix and a mini window sill greenhouse. Everything else grows very nicely this way, but I've gotten nothing from the tiny Buddleia seeds.
Do they require a different method? I appreciate any ideas. Thanks. ~JoAnn |

| There doesn't seem to be a lot of information available on any of the databases, I wonder if that isn't because of a high likelihood it won't come true from seed - being a hybrid of Buddleia davidii and Buddleia globosa. Ontario Rock Garden seed database does mention up to 90 days to germinate for the weyeriana types (surface sown, 65-68F) and a somewhat low germination rate....when did you sow? |

| 90 days - goodness! I sewed the first seeds in late March, the second batch just 2 weeks ago. I'd better pull out my rerserves of patience. And shop for a globe plant instead of seeds. Thanks so much! :) |

| Hi Tony. Thank you! I've added that to my ebay watch list and will bid on Friday. :D Now to find a multi colored one. I've seen a pink/orange one before and loved it. I've got 2 different purples, 2 pinks and a white. I was hooked the year my first one bloomed and was abundant with butterflies, moths, hummingbirds and those funny hummingbird moths. |
