Description
Red hot poker plants are
truly aptly named with their orange, red and yellow flower spikes that look
like blazing torches. These South African natives are popular ornamental
perennials which crave sun and attract Butterflies and Hummingbirds while being deer
resistant. Red hot poker plants are easy to grow in well-draining soil.
Growing Shrimp Plants From Seeds
Torch lily seeds will
require full sun, well-draining soil and plenty of organic matter.
Before sowing, give them a
cold treatment for 4 weeks.
Place seeds in a baggie in
the refrigerator for up to one month.
Once the seeds have
chilled, they are ready to plant.
Sow seeds indoors 6 to 8
weeks before planting out.
Use a good potting mixture
in pots which are several inches deep to preserve the taproot.
Sow 3 seeds in each
container and lightly dust with soil.
Keep the containers where
temperatures are 70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit (21-23 C.) and evenly moist.
Expect germination in 21
to 28 days.
In warm regions, you can
also direct sow the seeds in prepared garden beds.
When plants are small
clumps several inches wide, transplant them to the flower bed after hardening
them off.
Growing Red Hot Poker
Seeds
With a little luck and
good care, red hot poker seed propagation should be successful and you will
have some mini-me torch lilies in pots.
It isn’t a good idea to
continue to grow the plants in containers since they have a fairly long
taproot.
Moving them to a garden
space with fun sun and porous soil is the best way to grow red hot pokers.
Expose indoor grown plants
gradually to outside conditions over the course of a week to help them adjust
and avoid shock.
Set the plants into the
soil at the same level at which they were growing in the containers.
If you get them in the
ground early enough, you should expect a bloom the first year.
Remove spent flower spikes
as they occur and cut the foliage back in late winter to early spring to allow
new leaves room to grow.
Provide mulch over the
root zone in northern climates to protect the plant from cold.
Divide you pokers every
few years to promote blooming and dense clumps.
These are very easy plants
to grow and you can save seeds or even baby clumps to trade with your garden
friends.
Store Policies
All seeds will come in a resalable
plastic zip lock bag and placed in a bubble envelope so the seeds are not
damaged by shipping machines. All seed packets contain no fillers or other
weeds or seeds mixed in. Most have been harvested by hand & all test at a
high germination rate.
Seed Information
We guarantee
that all seed orders will contain the quantity ordered. Unlike many sellers who
sell seeds by weight, all seed our counts are almost always correct, as the
seeds are packaged and counted by hand. Seed packages are all double checked to
insure accuracy. We do our best and will often add extra seeds.
We are a seller that caters to
experienced gardeners. (germination and plant care information is readily
available online. Most of our listings include germination instructions, so we
do not ship growing instructions.
All My Seeds Are Sold Fresh So You Can Plant them Anytime within 2
years from Purchase
***Note: It is normal for tropical seed germination to be sporadic
from as little as 30 days to 6 months or more- so patience is required. Buyers
should do their own research for plant uses if needed.
BE PREPARED – Some Seed can be somewhat difficult to germinate – much
patience and time may be required – please don’t be wondering why the seeds
have not germinated after short periods of time. This is normal. Several months
will be needed for some seed.
Some seeds require some experience
in growing. We provide germination guidance and recommend that you do some
research before ordering if you feel unsure. Growing plants from seed is
supposed to be fun. Sometimes it is successful and sometimes not- this is the
way it is with gardening. Because we are not there to plant them, we cannot be
responsible for germination failure due to improper planting or climate
conditions. We will always send you viable seeds
Seed is a
live product which depends on many important grower skills such as proper
planting time, seed depth, type of soil, watering, light intensity, proper use
of fertilizers, weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, soil conditions, and
reasonable weather during the growing period. These factors are totally out of
the sellers control, and germination and growing results are the buyer’s
responsibility and risk.
