RED CORAL LILY
Lilium pumilum tenuifolium
SKU: 662-005
Description
It's difficult to believe how intense this red is! Each plant produces up to 30 exceptionally spotless, vivid-red flowers on tall stems. The flowers are so lustrous and glossy that they appear to have been lacquered or waxed! Plants are long lasting. They can be grown in regular soil, or rich soil. Water occasionally during dry spells as they do not like overly dry soil.
Type: Hardy perennial
Hardiness zones: 3-8
Height: 60cm, 2 feet
Location: Sun or part sun
Note: Ornamental use only. These seeds and/or plants are poisonous.
Seeds per pack: 5
Germination: Start these seeds right away to preserve viability, no matter the time of year. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a sterile seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature for 6 weeks. They will not grow yet. Then a cooling period is required. 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 in 14-60 days after the warming period. If possible, the best location for sowing in March, April and May, is in cold frame or a cold greenhouse where they will receive the cold period and fluctuating temperatures naturally.
