Doryanthes (Flame Lily)
|
Flame Lily is a genus with only two, yet very striking species in the Agave family (Agavaceae): Doryanthes excelsa and Doryanthes palmeri. They make impressive perennials with very long and broad, strap-like leaves in a dense basal rosette and a tall inflorescence of numerous scarlet flowers. They are easily raised from seed in any humus-rich, very well drained soil in full sun throughout the year. In winter reduce watering and keep plants always frostfree at a minimum of some 12°. Plants are slow growing but very long lived. Sow the large seeds very flat in any well drained sandy and humus rich soil. Keep pots in full sun and at a minimum of some 20°C. Keep soil always slightly moist from beneath. 10 large seeds per package. |
