Japanese Red Spider Lily / Higanbana Flower Seeds

Red spider lily is native to Asia's bright summer flowers. The legend is that those flowers grow anywhere people part their ways. They are connected to last goodbyes. The red spider lily in the old Buddhist scriptures takes the dead to Samsara, the resurrection circle. Red spider lily is often used for funerals, but often without these connotations.

Planting Instructions:

1. Soak the seeds in water for about 24 hours. This will soften them up and make them easier to plant.
2. Place the seeds on a wet paper towel or cotton cloth and fold them over so that it covers them completely.
3. Place this folded cloth into a plastic bag with holes cut out for air circulation, then seal it shut with an elastic band or string.
4. Leave this sealed bag in a warm place like on top of your refrigerator or near a heater for at least two weeks before planting them outside in your garden
