Growing Daylilies from Seed: What to Expect and How to Do It

Daylily Seed Propagation

Yes, you can plant seeds from pods, but:

• Seedlings will not match the parent (hybrid variation).
• Harvest when pods turn brown and split.
• Dry seeds, refrigerate 1–2 months (stratification).
• Sow in pots; germinate in 2 weeks at 70°F.
• Bloom in 2–3 years.

Division of clumps every 3–4 years is faster and true-to-type. See Olallie Daylily Gardens.
