Fritillaria camschatcensis
CHOCOLATE RICE LILY
SKU: 1067-005
We're very happy to have these back in stock!
Fritillaria camschatcensis is a species of fritillary native to northeastern Asia and northwestern North America, including northern Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska, northern Japan, and the Russian Far East (Amur, Kamchatka, Khabarovsk, Magadan, Primorye, Sakhalin and the Kuril Islands).
It has many common names, including Kamchatka fritillary and Kamchatka lily. It is also called rice lily, northern rice-root, or "Indian rice" or "wild rice", because of the rice-like bulblets that form around its roots, skunk lily, or "chocolate lily" because of its brown color.
Stem is up to 60 cm tall, with flowers at the top. Flowers are spreading or nodding (hanging downwards), dark brown, sometimes mottled with yellow.
Very rare seeds!
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-8
Height: 60 cm
Location: Sun or part shade
Deer resistant: Yes
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Seeds per packet: 5
Availability: If these seeds are showing out of stock, we strongly recommend joining our wait list, as these seeds have a very shorty viability window, and this helps ensure you get the freshest seeds possible! If they are available, they will only be available for a limited time.
Germination: Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Then cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 5-6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold stratification period they are then brought back to room temperature for them to germinate. Germination is generally within 60 days after the warming period, though they could take a few months. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and early May, is in a cold frame or cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
