Daylily seeds?

I have yellow daylillies that are done flowering. They have pods with little black seeds. I always thought lillies spread through their root systems. Can I harvest the seeds %26amp; try to start them in spring? Any tips on starting them?

Daylily seeds?
Yes! Leave the pods on the plant long enough for them to mature. In the fall (or as soon as you notice the pod starting to split open) remove the pod from the stem and store until next spring. I generally store the pod, wrapped in paper towels, in a glass or plastic jar or container in the refrigerator for 6 months to 5 years. I speak from experience when I warn you to make a note on the paper towel as a reminder of which seeds are which plant. In the spring, plant the seeds. My best successes have been when I barely cover the seeds, in pots, water from the bottom and mist the top. Transplant into your garden when the have grown at least 4 inches.
Reply:Funny, I just noticed the same thing with my daylillies. I know that when you buy these they are bulbs, and I know for a fact that when you want to divide daylillies, you wait until late summer when they are done flowering and you divide the roots.





However, as far as those "seed pods" I really don't know, but I am fairly sure that you will not get daylillies if you plant them.
Reply:Yes. Keep them in a dry place, like in a paper bag with some rice to absorb any moisture and plant in spring. I do it every year.
