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
Seeds per packet: 15 (previously 10)
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.
