How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds thinly in free-draining seed compost with a light covering. Keep the medium moist without waterlogging. Use the germination temperature and any dormancy treatment appropriate to the botanical species. Bulb and tuber planting depths do not apply to seeds.

How to Grow

Established Lycoris radiata bears red flowers before its leaves. Foliage then persists through winter into early spring. Young seedlings need time to develop; flowering is not immediate. Keep containers well drained and protect plants from unsuitable cold.

Tips

Label the seed pots and keep the growing medium well drained. Match care to the species and growth stage. Do not expect mature-plant flowering speed or an exact named cultivar from seedlings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does each packet contain?

Each packet contains 100 seeds. Bulbs, tubers, corms and bulbils are not supplied.

How should I sow these seeds?

Sow seeds thinly in free-draining seed compost with a light covering. Keep the medium moist without waterlogging. Use the germination temperature and any dormancy treatment appropriate to the botanical species. Bulb and tuber planting depths do not apply to seeds.

Do mature bulb planting depths apply to seeds?

No. Use the seed-specific method. Deep planting and soaking instructions for mature storage organs do not describe seed germination.

How should I care for established seedlings?

Established Lycoris radiata bears red flowers before its leaves. Foliage then persists through winter into early spring. Young seedlings need time to develop; flowering is not immediate. Keep containers well drained and protect plants from unsuitable cold.

Will every seedling match the pictured parent plant?

Seed-grown plants can vary in colour, form and other traits. A photograph does not guarantee an exact clone or named cultivar.

Is quick flowering guaranteed?

No. Germination and development depend on the seed and growing conditions. Many perennial seedlings need several growing seasons before flowering.
