gardenglory, sorry about the failure of the new method.
I know you have heard this a million times but never put all your eggs (daylily seeds) in one basket. I am new to starting daylily seeds pretty much. So I tried the paper towel method, seeds folded up in a damp paper towel then placed in a plastic baggie. I was too impatient, but I did get a few seeds to sprout. The remainder of the seeds I divided between potting some and placing some directly into the garden. So far they are sprouting, but so slowly, one or two one day, then nothing , then one or two more, I was hoping for nice little rows of sprouted daylily seeds sprouting all at once. Anyhow, I have been able to get some sprouted, now to see if I can get any to grow to maturity.
