Do day lilies have seeds?
Not quite, Wilber.
Hemerocallis flava is a later synonym for the wild species Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus, a fragrant self-fertile true species and one of the original ancestors of the modern daylily hybrids. http://www.hemerocallis-species.com/...cies/lil_e.htm Hemerocallis 'Pardon Me' is a fragrant repeat-blooming hybrid with deep red flowers with a greenish yellow throat. A back-cross with H.lilioasphodelus would probably lack most of the best characters of the hybrid. Seeds from self-pollination could potentially produce a wide range of flower colors. "Wil" wrote in message ... "Natty_Dread" wrote in message .. . I'm growing several varieties of day lily this year, some Asiatics which I planted as bulbs and a few varities of Hemerocallis which I purchased as established plants. Two of the Hemerocallis plants, H. Flava and H. Pardon Me, have some blooms that never opened, and those bloom "pods" (for lack of a better word) have stayed green but are now hard. I broke one open to check it out and found what looked like small round black seeds inside. Are these actually seeds that can be sown? I've never thought of lilies as coming from anything except bulbs, but I guess the bulbs have to come from somewhere also! Any ideas what these things might be? Thanks in advance for any information. Rhonda Alexandria, VA USDA Zone 7 You are describing the seed pods of the daylily and not the bloom buds. Buds are more elongated and soft. Some types of daylilies make a slightly pointed seed pod but it is likely to be ribbed like a pumpkin. The Asiatic are not Hemerocallis they are lilium, true lilies. So I will not mix Asiatic into this discussion. I grow them but I am no expert on them and I do not grow them from seed. The daylily H. flava is a species daylily. Pardon Me is a hybrid. All hybrid seeds do not bloom true to the parent plant. Those seeds can be any kind of daylily flower that shows the genetics of the gene pool in the genetic line of pod and pollen parent for generations. You can plant and grow daylilies from seed. The pod develops after pollen is placed on the stigma. The pod will continue to grow until it begins to darken and splits open. When the pod shows signs it is opening, it is time to harvest the pod. Let the seeds dry then plant or refrigerate until you plan to start the seeds. If you live in a cold climate, you can direct sow the seeds late fall. Most hybridizers believe the hemerocallis seeds need a cold period to break dormancy. The winter can be the cold period planted in the ground or your refrigerator can be the cold period. They should be cold for about 6 weeks. That period of time is also up for debate. 4-6 weeks is a good period of time to hold the seeds. If seeds are held in the refrigerator until spring, you can plant them early spring in the garden, or you can plant them inside in potting soil and transplant the little plants in the garden. If you break open a pod and the seeds are soft or white, the seeds are not ripe and probably will not grow. Wil |

Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus is the correct name for the species not
Hemerocallis flava. Hemerocallis flava is not a valid name, you dim Willy. "Wil" wrote in message ... . "Cereus-validus" wrote in message m... Not quite, Wilber.

Perhaps you should carefully study these pages and learn the difference between Family, Genus, Species, Cultivar, and Common Name. Then bring your paper back and we will let the teacher grade it. http://plantsdatabase.com/b/Hemeroca...allis/flava/// http://plantsdatabase.com/go/54798/index.html Wil -- |
