PINK PERUVIAN LILY
Alstroemeria psittacina
SKU: 1187-3
Description
These flowers have nice spotting, with an overall pink color, including white and red parts to the flower. Plants are trouble-free and form dense and tidy clumps.
Type: Hardy perennial
Location: Full sun
Height: 60-90 cm
Hardiness zones: 7-10, possibly zone 6 if given a thick layer (6-8") of mulch for protection.
Note: This plant species is known to have toxicity. Ingestion of these seeds or this plant can cause illness such as vomiting or diarrhea.
Seeds per pack: 3
Germination: As with many perennials, these seeds can benefit from a period of moist cold to help them break dormancy. This is done by giving them a cold 'winter' period (artificial or natural), and then a warming to simulate 'spring', and time to grow! Here's how this can be done:
Obtain a planting container that has holes in the bottom for excess water to drain. Place the seeds just under the surface of your growing medium, and water. Place your container in a cold area (but not freezing, perhaps a refrigerator) for 4-6 weeks. Once the cold period is completed, place the container at room temperature for them to germinate. Be sure to keep the soil moist during this entire germination period. Seedlings will sprout a few weeks after the warming period.
