I haven't timed it personally but the 2002 AHS Handbook chapter on daylily physiology, page 124, says "Fertilization to seed maturity requires 46 to 56 days with the median time of about 52 days in diploid clones". They don't give any temperature information etc. for that.

Later in the book (pages 130-1) is some research on the effects of shade but it doesn't say anything about pod maturity. It does say there are fewer pods in shade.
