Basic question here, sorry about that--when you hybridize lilies, do you let the seed pod mature--turn brown--on the stalk? On my daylilies, I have to leave them on, and then I collect them and cold stratify for a bit. Are lilium the same process?
With daylilies, the seedlings may or may not resemble the parents, and most become compost, and with hibiscus, my seedlings pretty much look just like mama. What about liliums? Are most of the seedlings keepers?
I need to join the NALS and find some back journals myself, but I think I need to drop something else first. Rose may be the one to go. I'm about finished fighting rose rosette disease, a killer with no cure. I could buy a lot of lilies for the price of one new rose.
Sorry for the ramble, but if anyone can point me to a good page on hybridizing and growing out lilium, i would appreciate it.
Do we have a FAQs section here?
