Leftwood said:Forgot to add that you can plant the seed right away, but it is doubtful you will have better success than later. We usually let the seed dry, and store until conditions are more amenable to growing the seedlings on. If you plant now, then you have committed yourself to growing under lights for the winter. Often, people plant lily seed in late winter to get a jump on spring (and ultimately, larger plants at the year's end), or you can be lazy like me, and plant later so seedlings can be grown in pots directly outside.


I thought it will grow and produce a tiny bulb before the cold hits and go dormant? And some lily seeds I heard don't sprout until they experience cold then warmth which means they have to be outside in pots.
