Not a tiger lily. It's a Belamcanda Chinensis aka Blackberry Lily, Leopard Lily and is actually in the iris family (Iris Domestica).

According to the literature, you can direct sow the seeds in the fall before the first frost. Nothing ventured, nothing gained, sow them now and see what happens - especially if you're in a colder zone and not zone 10 as GW defaults to when none is supplied in your profile.

Cheers thanks for that,
I iive in the subtropics in Australia, I have around 30 seeds.

Will sow the later today, ty for the information

Were your seeds kept cold (vernalized) for a period of time? I didn't check your profile to see where you were located so I hope I didn't jump too fast in saying to put them in the ground right away. Lots of info on the web and/or a good garden center be able to steer you in the right direction.

This might further help you since other than knowing what it was, the proper germination technique, especially in the sub-tropics is way out of my scope.

"Many seeds germinate best at certain temperatures, some will germinate at a comparatively wide range of temperatures, yet others need fluctuating temperatures.
Almost all seeds are waiting in a dormant state for some outside stimulus to break their dormancy, some just need sufficiently high ambiant humidity, others need scarification, vernalization or to be passed through the intestines of an animal.

Iris domestica (belamcanda) seeds will usually germinate in 14-60 days, even under good conditions germination may be erratic.
Sow Iris domestica seeds on the surface of a Well drained seed sowing mix at about 15-30ðC.

Iris domestica seeds need to be "overwintered" before they will germinate.

Stratification; cold treatment or vernalization. Seeds of some species need just a couple of weeks, others 3 months. Seeds can be stratified in dampened peat or sand, in a plastic box or bag at 4ðC or 5ðC in a refrigerator. The seeds should not be frozen or in a wet medium. Very small seeds can be sown on the surface of their growing medium, in pots sealed in plastic bags, and kept in the 'fridge. Many vernalized seeds need light to germinate when they are sown in the "Spring".

Seed Germination Theory and Practice by Professor Norman C. Deno

The Seed Germination Database which is Norm Deno's list says that it does not need stratification, most sites also agree. See the link, it is still listed under Belamcanda not Iris domestica.

Here is a link that might be useful: Tom Clothier's Garden Walk and Talk

cool thanks for the info, I have around 40 seeds sitting in seedling trays now and will wait and see what happens.

thank you all for all the helpful information
