Buddleja globosa: Buddleja globosa, or Orange Ball Tree, seeds can be germinated by stratification. Mix the seeds with moistened vermiculite or peat moss, and place the mixture in a sealed plastic bag. Refrigerate the bag for 4 to 6 weeks. After stratification, sow the seeds in well-draining soil, about 1/4 inch deep. Keep the soil consistently moist and provide a temperature of around 70-75°F (21-24°C). Germination may take several weeks to several months.
Some of plants may have very have specific germination requirements that may not be covered in these general instructions.
