Daylily Seed Propagation: Collecting, Drying, and Sowing

Seed Collection

When seed pods split at the tip, collect seeds within days. Dry in a cool, dry place (air-conditioned house works) for a couple of weeks until shriveled. Store in paper envelopes in plastic boxes, cool and dry.

Sowing Options

• Direct sow in garden in late fall or spring.
• Start in pots, transplant after seedlings appear (1 month to several).
• Southern gardeners may see blooms in 9–12 months with good care.
