Hi Lynn, we cross-posted! I haven't purposely grown Globularia from seed, but I'd guess that either sowing outdoors in gravel or sand in fall, or in periodically-chilled pots of well-drained mix in early spring would work. In my Zone, Globularia blooms from early to mid-May to late June or early July. I'm not sure how well it would grow in your Zone, but it would probably flower a lot earlier.
