How to plant daylily's seeds?

Although daylilies normally grow from a bulbs (you don't really see daylily seeds at the store), yes, they produce viable seeds if you do it right. It's difficult but rewarding to grow bulbs from seeds.


Wait until the seeds are ripe--it's pretty easy to tell because the pods are brown and all. Scatter the seeds evenly in a clay pot of a special, sterilized, germinating mix of potting soil. Keep moist in a shady spot. At the end of the second growing season, move to a larger pot.


It takes over three years for them to reach flowering size.


IMPORTANT NOTE: But really, the best way to reproduce daylilies is to plant the bulblets that sprout on the sides of the bulb.

You need to break off some of the root when the plant is too crowded. Lay the bulbs sideways. And I think they should be placed shallowly.
