The listing, Blue Butterfly Bush seeds from my yard x12+ (WIN 3 GET 1 FREE) has ended.
Also known as Buddleia davidii
They thrive in full sun and well drained soil, prefer zones 5-9 where temps do not fall below -20 degrees.
Butterfly bush is a butterfly favorite. I have blue, pink and rainbow bushes and see many of them. Usually, they grow between 4 and 5 ft. Mine are taller than 6ft.
You can grow them by sowing their seeds in pots. Later, transfer them perminately in spring.
The seeds are tiny and hard to count so you will get way more than 12. They are freshly dried, so you will need to stratify them. Put the bag of seeds outside for 4 weeks for better germination.
Fill 4" pots with potting soil, drop one seed into each pot, pushing it down 1". Mist lightly. Place in area that receives bright, indirect sunlight while maintaining a temp of 75 degrees. Keep soil moist. Germination takes 20-30 days. Transplant outdoors in spring 4-6ft apart.
I keep an eye on all my auctions and fan as many bidders as I can until the auction ends. So, if you bid and don't win, you probably gained a new fan, me, thanking you for bidding. Keep in mind that in order for me to have enough fans available to fan everyone, bidders have to fan me also. If I don't get fanned back, I can only fan so many. I ALWAYS fan my winners. Thank you for bidding.
Now for the bad news. After you receive your seeds, PLEASE click on "GOT IT". It takes me forever to leave feedback because I have to open each auction to see if the seeds were received before leaving feedback for you. If you have not clicked on "GOT IT" by the time listia closes, I will block you. For those who do this regularly? Thank you very much. It is appreciated.
I will only ship to a Listia verified U.S. shipping address. If you have not verified your address with Listia, please do so BEFORE bidding. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you live in Canada, please do not bid. Instead of .49, it costs $1.10 Io ship.. I will NOT ship to Canada.
