Description
Stratify the seeds: Purple Butterfly Bush seeds require a period of cold stratification to break their dormancy. Place the seeds in a damp paper towel and seal it in a plastic bag. Store the bag in the refrigerator for 4-6 weeks..Start indoors: After the cold stratification period, fill seed trays or pots with a moist, well-draining seed-starting mix. Sow the Purple Butterfly Bush seeds on the soil surface, spacing them 2 inches apart. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil..Water the seeds: Water the seeds gently, taking care not to displace them. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Place the seed trays in a warm location with bright, indirect light..Germination: The seeds should germinate within 2-4 weeks. Once the seedlings have emerged, move the trays to a sunny location or under grow lights..Transplant: When the Purple Butterfly Bush seedlings have developed their second set of true leaves, transplant them into larger pots. Keep the soil moist and provide bright, indirect light.
