"If you know that stratification is needed for some seeds (both parents are Hard Dormant...)"

Greg, have you personally tested that foliage habit is correlated with seed dormancy? Previously published research suggests it is not, so just wondering. Also, I have tested seeds that were selfed from a dormant parent and some had seed dormancy and some did not although admittedly the split was 75:25. Likewise I have tested seeds from a semi-ev pod parent and some had seed dormancy and some did not. This is registered foliage habit because all daylilies are functionally dormant in this climate.

IMHO one has to find out from experience whether one can expect seed dormancy in one's seeds or not - if any daylily seeds take longer than a couple of weeks or so, three at most, to germinate then they would probably be considered to have had seed dormancy.
