HOW TO GROW BILLY BUTTONS
Billy Buttons (Pycnosorus globosus) - 50 SeedsBilly Buttons (Pycnosorus globosus) are utterly charming native wildflowers, instantly recognisable by their distinctive, spherical, bright golden-yellow flower heads. These cheerful blooms sit atop slender, upright stems, creating a wonderful display in gardens and making fantastic long-lasting cut flowers, both fresh and dried. They are a fantastic choice for adding texture and a vibrant pop of colour to native garden beds, cottage gardens, or as a feature in dry-tolerant landscapes, attracting pollinators and bringing a sunny disposition to any space.To prepare Billy Buttons seeds for planting, no specific pre-treatment like scarification or cold stratification is typically required. Fresh seeds usually germinate without these methods. However, for many native Australian species, smoke treatment can often enhance germination rates and uniformity. This can be achieved using commercially available smoke water products according to their instructions, though it's often not essential for Pycnosorus globosus.Sow the seeds lightly on the surface of a well-draining native seed-raising mix. Do not cover the seeds too deeply, as light can aid in their germination; a very fine dusting of sand or vermiculite is sufficient. Gently press them onto the surface to ensure good contact with the mix. Keep the soil consistently moist but avoid overwatering, as they prefer well-drained conditions. Place the tray in a warm location with bright, indirect light. Germination can be variable, typically occurring within a few weeks to a couple of months. Once seedlings are strong enough to handle, carefully transplant them into individual pots and continue to provide consistent moisture. Plant out into a sunny position with good drainage, as they are quite tolerant of drier conditions once established.
