White Avalanche Lily Seeds (Erythronium Montanum), PerennialĀ
These perennial lilies are found natively along the coast and alpine areas of the USA. Beautiful white flowers grow to 1 ft. tall. They will grow under the shade of other plants, trees, or in full sun.
These flowers can be potted and kept indoors by a sunny window or in flower beds or rows outdoors. Erythronium Montanum lilies make for great accent flowers when planted next to other colored flowers. And they stand out well alone too.
Grow Zones: 3,4,5,6,7,8 Other Names: Avalanche Lily, White-Avalanche-Lily Bloom time is April-May. The seed collection time is June-July.
If planting in rows or in garden beds, space the lilies 1/2 a foot apart. Avalanche lily thrives in light soil types (sand or loamy soil).
Germination Procedure: Sow seeds in the fall for sprouts the next year or apply cold stratification in the freezer for 2-3 months to simulate winter conditions and break seed dormancy, then surface-sow in 65-70 degree temperatures.
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
