When I was ws-ing my annuals a couple of weeks ago, I realized that I had forgotten to put out my butterfly bush seeds. So . . . . I sowed them anyway and put the container in the fridge. It's been there about 2 weeks. How long till I can take it out?

The more common one, Buddleia davidii? It will often germinate with no chill at all, go ahead and take them out, put them outside. 2 weeks should be enough insurance and qualify for a brief moist chill - that they may not have needed anyway but it won't have hurt them ....
