I can't believe it! After having read how impossible it is to start daylilies from seed, I'm quite surprised to see that one of the two that I potted up has begun to sprout. I followed these instructions http://www.dianedaylilies.com
/seeds.html and it worked. I'm really glad about it too, as I had planned to plant a row of about 20 or so daylilies along the blueberry hedge that I'm planting, and to buy that many plants from a nursery would be cost-prohibitive. I have many more seeds in the fridge just waiting to be potted up. The daylilies probably won't flower until the 2nd year, but the foliage at least should be attractive for the first year.

So glad to read that a seed actually sprouted. I am hoping this year to catch some daylily seed. To keep them looking like the mother plant I am told you have to be able to keep the bees from cross pollinating them. I will find out come spring/summer. Linda B |
