From Jim Waddick: (Seeds) Seeds have a limited viability and should be
planted immediately. Press seeds into soil and cover with 1/2 inch of soil.
1. Lycoris longituba Pure species, Limited number of seeds This is one of
the largest hardy species with large flowers on stately stalks in early
fall. Totally hardy in USDA Zone 5.
2. Lycoris Mixed hybrids - These are mostly L. longituba, L. chinensis and
L. sprengeri grown together. Parents are both pure species and mixed
hybrids. Expect mostly seedlings to have either tall stems with cream or
yellow colored flowers or smaller plants with pink flowers. Some will be
golden yellow, white or peach colored intermediates.
3. Lycoris chinensis mix - These are mostly collected from golden yellow L.
chinensis parents, but growing in a mix with L. longituba so expect some
pale colored hybrids and various flower forms.
