I was excited today to see that some blackberry lily seeds that I got in the ATP beta swap and winter sowed have finally sprouted ! Now I just have to figure out how to actually grow them Blinking

The plant DB says they are hardy to zone 4, so they should overwinter here okay -- maybe?
Thanks so much for those seeds, Cinda ( @Gardengus ) -- any words of wisdom about these plants for me?

Hurray!
They are easy care here in my zone . I just put them in the garden when they are 2-3 inches tall and let them grow .
Mark them because they are sometimes late to show in the spring.

Thanks, Cinda! I think I'll plant them near the foundation of our house, I'm pretty sure they'll be safe there. I'm so excited that they sprouted I would really hate to have the winter kill them off... on the other hand, now that I think about it, the seeds did sprout in a WS jug, so that seems like a good sign!

They used to self sow for me. But now that I think about it I haven't seen any babies in two years.

I found when I mulched heavy no seedlings , they must need good ground contact.
