Fritillaria meleagris
CHECKERED LILY MIX
SKU: 2091-010
A very distinct perennial, the Checkered Lily is aptly named for it's vivid checkered patterning! This perennial blooms in spring on tall stems. Plants are hardy, and gently multiply each year to form colonies. Can be used for naturalizing. This is a mix including both the dark and white flowers, forming a stunning contrast.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 4-8
Height: 2 feet, 60 cm
Location: Sun or part sun
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Seeds per pack: 10
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 short time.
Germination: Sow the seeds just under the surface and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 4 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 6 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15-18C, 59-68F) for them to germinate. Germination can be erratic, generally 30-90 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
