Fritillaria meleagris
CHECKERED LILY MIX
- Unit price
- / per
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
Seeds per packet: 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.
Sow just under the surface of the soil and water in. First keep them at room temperature for 8 weeks. This helps break the phytohormones which inhibit germination. Then cover them with plastic to retain moisture, and then place in a fridge for 8 weeks. Then bring them to a cool room (approximately 12°C, 54°F) for 8 weeks for germination. They may be growing at this point, though often they need a second cold period. If they are not growing cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for another 6-8 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the second cold stratification period they are then brought back to a cool (12-15°C, 54-59°F) room for them to germinate. This double cold period is not always needed, but sometimes necessary, and is very normal for these seeds. Germination is in 4-12 weeks after the second warming period.
Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
