I have been trying to find as many of the WNA seeds as possible. They say there are 9 native lilies here in Humboldt. When I do germinate seeds this is what I do. Right/Wrong?

Germinate in baggies, use peat with captan (I start my seeds in Aug-Sept)
3 - 4 months room temperature (70's) 3-4 months refreig.

When its time to plant, I go to the dollar store and pick up plastic containers and place the seedling w/their peat. Holes for good drainage.

I cover with seed starter soil and make sure they don't dry out.

If I only have a few germinated seeds I might put them in a gallon plastic container.

I do fertilize approx once a month with liquid 1/2 amt. Also, I found that they don't like full sun. Once they are growing start watching, as some of them don't like moisture during the summer months.
