I have one new daylily that I adore, and it has several big seed pods, still
green. Last year, I wanted to save seeds from another daylily, and missed the time between green seed pods and open, empty ones. Advice or recommendations, pleaase! Bobby? thanks in advance, laurie (Mother Mastiff) (yes, I realize the seedlings will be hybrids, but I hope some will take after their beautiful mother. g) |

Saving Daylily seeds?
Hey Laurie,
Wait until the seed pod begins to crack open and then pick it. Remove the seeds from the pod. Place in envelope and then put in refrigerator for six weeks. You can then plant them directly in the ground this fall. The seedlings will be small, but the strong plants will survive the winter. Or you leave the seeds in the frig over the winter and plant in spring. I plant in the fall so that the weak seedlings die and the more hardy plants survive. I expect to start harvesting daylily seed with in the next few days. The pods are fat and almost ready.
