Scarlet Gilia
Ipomopsis aggregata
35 seeds
Scarlet Gilia (Ipomopsis aggregate), also known as Skyrocket, has been known to modern science since 1806, when western explorers Lewis and Clark collected the first specimen along the Lolo Trail in the mountains of northern Idaho.
Scarlet Gilia grows in a variety of habitats, from desert canyons and cliffs to montane meadows, and subalpine rock fields. These plants are relatively short-lived and often die after flowering. In many instances, individuals will persist for one to several years in rosette form, consisting only of a basal clump of deeply pinnately lobed leaves.
Sow the seeds in early spring in a shallow tray or another suitable container in a mixture of equal parts loam, peat, and sand. Push the seeds lightly below the surface of the growing medium and keep it moist. It is best to place them in a cool place with indirect sunlight because the seeds need a chilling period to germinate.
The seedlings can be transplanted outdoors when the danger of frost has passed.
