How to Prepare Daylily Seeds
- 1). Gather the daylily seeds from the pods that develop after the blooms have faded. The pods will turn brown and begin to split at the end when the seeds are ready to be harvested.
- 2). Place the seeds into a plastic zip-close bag. Sprinkle chlorinated tap water into the bag, enough to dampen the sides but not slosh around. Use a marker to write the type of daylily on the side of the bag.
- 3). Place the bag into a refrigerator that maintains steady temperatures of 35 to 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Allow them to remain there for at least three weeks.
- 4). Spread the seeds onto a glass or plastic plate after stratification and leave them there until they have dried. They can then be sown directly into the garden or placed in an airtight container until you are ready to plant them.
