Many thanks Sue (as always!) for your post.
The key is finding if all daylilies seeds have dormancy or not, I think. I have 1 seed to test and a pod that's not ripe yet (unless I decide to buy some seeds). I guess one cannot know about every cultivar seeds dormancy.
So I did a research on google and found this interesting article:
http://www.uky.edu/Projects/Se...
It explaines the different kind of dormancies among plants; then, it says that the genera hemerocallis always have the same type of dormancy and it needs (obligatory) stratification. This could simplify the basis for testing. The only thing I knew before entering ATP was that diploids can germinate soon after harvesting, while triploids needs a cold period (the article is written by an italian hybrydizer and he uses dry chilling).
So I'll start giving for a fact that all daylilies seeds have dormancy. Now, what I can't find it's osmopriming related to dormancy, as you say.
It's a bit of a double work for me, understanding correctly english articles then understanding the gardening terminology LOL.
I'm not in a good position for testing directly having so few seeds; and having few seeds I'd like to know before how to treat them, but I recon it's impossible.
So did you find different seeds dormancy in your experience?
I have to wait and see how many I'll harvest by the end of the month from just one pod, but I guess they won't be enough for a good testing!!
At the bottom of that article there's a note regarding daylilies I'm having some difficulties in understanding it correctly...
