Growing Daylilies from Seed to Bloom

I collected seeds from beautiful daylilies. How do I take them from seed to flowering plants?

Daylily Seed Germination Process

Place black seeds in a damp paper towel, fold, seal in a plastic bag, refrigerate 6-8 weeks. About 2 months before last frost, sow in moist potting soil, cover lightly, add milled sphagnum moss to prevent damping off. Seal in bag, keep at 70-75°F (no direct sun—it cooks the bag). Sprouts appear in under a month. At 2 inches tall, prick out into individual pots. Grow under 40W fluorescent shop light 8 inches above, or in east/south window (out of bag). Harden off 10 days after last frost, then plant in full sun. Daylilies love direct sun and regular water.
