25 Seeds Lily Alstoremeria Dr. Salter's Mix Flower Peruvian Perennial Dr. Salters mix is a wonder producing different colored flowers from one plant! The colors are: salmon, cerise, flame, lilac, gold and bronze. Grown in clusters resembling lillies. Long lasting cut flower with a vase life up to 2 weeks. On occasions plants grown from seed will bloom during the first year. Usually the blooms will come the second year and the amount and quality will improve with each year. Peruvian lily seeds need a cold treatment to break germination. It is recommended that seeds be kept in the fridge for three weeks prior to sowing or can be sown directly into the ground in late fall or winter so the cold treatment will naturally occur so that in spring when temperatures warm, the flower will sprout. Once established they have tubers which can spread rapidly and are about a foot underground, so the plant easily spreads and grows. In northern climates, plants will need a heavy mulch to prevent the plants from freezing.
