Planting Instructions:
Seed Preparation:
Stratify seeds by placing them in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerating for 4-6 weeks before sowing to improve germination rates.
Sowing:
Sow seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last expected frost date. Use a seed-starting mix and plant seeds on the surface of the soil, pressing them lightly to ensure good contact without covering them, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and maintain a temperature of 70-75°F (21-24°C).
Germination:
Seeds typically germinate within 2-4 weeks under optimal conditions. Ensure consistent moisture and light exposure during the germination period.
Transplanting:
Transplant seedlings outdoors after the danger of frost has passed and they have at least two true leaves. Harden off seedlings by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions over a week. Plant seedlings 12-18 inches apart in a shaded location with well-drained soil.
Care and Maintenance:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods, but avoid waterlogging. Mulching: Apply mulch around the base of the plants to retain soil moisture and suppress weeds. Dividing: Hosta lilies can become crowded over time. Divide clumps every 3-4 years in early spring or fall to maintain plant health and vigor.
