BRONZE PURPLE PHORMIUM
SKU: 835-010
Description
Phormium are magnificently colored plants, with wide, strappy leaves, growing tall and bold! These seeds are from the red/purple/bronze form. Flowers are red-orange, and appear in late summer-fall, and are extremely tropical looking!
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 3-5 feet
Location: Sun
Hardiness zones: 8-11
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 limited time.
Germination: Start these seeds indoors right away for best germination rates. Your planting container should have holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Sow the seeds just under the surface of a seed-start mix, and water in. Leave them at room temperature (20-22 °C, 68-72 °F) for 4 weeks. If they have not germinated after 4 weeks then a cooling period is required. Cover them with plastic and place in a fridge for 4 weeks. Be sure they stay moist. After the cold-moist stratification period they are then brought back to a cool room (15C, 59F) for them to germinate. Germination can be 30-60 days after the warming period, though some can take longer.
