Seed packet weight: 0.10 oz.
The perennial is commonly known as ‘Lucifer” and its flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies. The seed itself is slow to germinate so be patient. Its worth the wait to start from seed as you will have a substantial quantity of plants in your first season. Please note that when starting from seeeds, it is unlikely the plant will produce flowers its first year because the plant is putting its energy into root development. It is almost certain your plant will begin blooming its second summer and will soon be multiplying by producing small bulbs which then can be divided and replanted to build stock.
Indoor sowing: Start 10 weeks before your average last spring frost date. Seed soaked in warm water for a few hours will germinate faster.
Germination: 20-40 days at 65-75°F.
Garden spacing: 16”
Height: 36”
Exposure: full sun to partial shade
