Growing daylilies from seed can be a fun experience, as each new plant is a new hybrid. Learn how to grow daylilies from seed, and experience the joy of growing new plants.
You never know exactly what you are going to get until your new seedling blooms! This whole experience usually takes a few years, however it is well worth the wait!
Harvest daylily seeds from the seed pods when the pods are mature and begin to crack open. Air dry the seeds for 48 hours before storing in the fridge for stratification.
One month before planting, add the seeds to a baggie with moist vermiculite, and place in the fridge for at least 30 days. Often the seeds will begin to sprout in the fridge.
After the stratification period, plant the seeds as well as those seedlings that have sprouted, into deep containers to grow on, until ready to be transplanted outside.
