Sorry that this is going to be a short reply, as I'm listing seeds now, LOL
The thousand seedlings includes the 1-2-3 year ones yet to bloom.
My seedlings get planted about 4 inches apart, I keep the best and give away the rest.
I have a neighborhood of new daylily growers ;~)
I do buy many of the registered plants I grow, some came by the way of trades for my seedlings, some were sent to me because they thought that the plant would work with what I'm doing, Some came from trading seeds for registered or their seedlings, Like I said I made so many friendships, and each year I make more.
The hobby does make enough to let me buy a new one here and there if I want.
It takes a lot of time to make seeds to sell, so per hour average, eek!
I developed a number/letter system that I ID each plant with for hybridizing purposes.
I keep a Stud book, and computer picture files with all cross information.
Works very good for me
