I have been doing searches of past threads on this site in regards to all things re:growing daylilies from seed. I find that much of the information is very pieced apart (e.g., a thread about seed storage, another about seed starting soil mixtures) and I am having a little trouble wrapping my head around all the steps and details. I am wondering if some of you who grow daylilies from seed would mind giving a full description of your process form start to finish.

I know that there are many different methods...each of you has a method that works best for you. I like the idea that daylilies seem so flexible and able to handle and thrive in a variety of situations. I will have a good crop of seeds this year so I am hoping to hear about a variety of methods so that I can try some (or all) of them and discover which method works best for me.

In your descriptions, could you try to cover aspects of seed collection (if you do that), seed drying, seed storage, stratification, germination, seedling growing, etc. on up to the point where you get the seedling in a bed outside or in it's "permanent" pot. I would love to see details about how long each step generally takes, when you usually start, details about amounts/temperatures (e.g., what H2O2 mixture do you use, what temperature you store your seeds in for cold storage), labeling/record keeping strategies...and if you have pictures that would be even better Whistling Also, if you have tried other methods in the past and found they didn't work for you (again, I recognize that what works for one might not work for another and that doesn't make the method ineffective across the board) and want to comment on that (the how, the why you thought it wasn't effective or didn't like it) that would be great as well Thumbs up

My pre-thanks to anyone who responds to this thread! Thank You!
