Cardiocrinum cordatum
GIANT LILY
- Unit price
- / per
Description
This is an extremely rare lily, similar to the Giant Himalayan Lily (which we also offer) but much hardier in very cold climates, and a little shorter (yet still a giant). Flowers are massive, and creamy white, held on tall, strong stems. The leaves are large and leathery.
Type: Hardy perennial
Height: 6 feet, 72"
Hardiness zones: 3-9
Location: Part shade
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. Then 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. Seedlings will sprout a few weeks, or occasionally several months, after the warming period. Patience is required, though they are well worth the wait! 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.
