Planting seed

19 years ago

This is my first year of DL's, therefor I am new to seed planting. Also being cheep, I have seen DL's growing in shopping center lots, mostly yellow and red/orange. I have been collecting seed pods for free. I usually bring them home in a plastic bag, well I left some in the bag when I got home a week or so ago and they began to mold before I got back to them. Today I found them and decided to do something with them, (through them out I thought), well, about dozen had started to sprout. I have been reading what all of you have been saying about how to plant the seeds so I planted the ones that had started to sprout and put the un-sprouted in a baggie with a little water and into the fridge.

I have grown Iris for a while and in that comunity we sprout seeds with what is called the "Burrito Method" that is we roll the seeds in a damp paper towel,(like in a burrito) an put them in a baggie and into the fridge we check them once a week to see if any are sprouting and remove an plant them as they sprout. Has anyone tried this with daylilies? Well, I am giving it a try, may not work but with free parking lot seeds what can I lose.

This gets more and more fun everyday, what will I do this winter?
