Do day lilies have seeds?
Daylilies don't grow from bulbs. They are perennials and are not closely
related to true bulbous Lilies. Since the individual flowers last only one day, the ones that produced fruit must have done so when you weren't watching. You should let the remaining seed pods ripen on their own. They will dry out and split open when they are mature. Yes, you can grow them from seed but you should expect the plants grown from seed to look different from the hybrid parents and not all the offspring may be worthy of keeping if the flowers aren't up to par. "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.
