Outsidepride Alstromeria Peruvian Lily Plant Seed - 400 Seeds

Peruvian Lily is a fragant, mixed color perennial that can be grown outside or as a container plant. It is great as a cutflower as it lasts long in a vase and has long stems with handsome foilage and is topped off with a bouquet of different colored 2 inch flowers. Peruvian Lily seeds needs to have a cold treatment in order to break germination. It is recommended to place the seeds in dampened peat moss, seal in a ziploc bag and place the seeds in the refrigerator for 3 weeks. After the cold treatment, grow Peruvian Lily seed in 3 inch pots, 3 - 4 seeds in each pot and lightly cover them with soil. Place pots in 70F for germination. To directly sow Alstroemeria seeds outdoors in prepared soil, do so in winter so that the cold treatment will naturally occur, and in the spring as temperatures warm, the flower seed will sprout. Once established, Peruvian Lily's tubers spread rapidly about a foot underground, so might need a deep border to keep the plant from becoming invasive. In Northern climates will need to mulch heavily to keep the plant from freezing.
