| Hi everyone
I need some advice. I was wondering if any of you have success in maturing seeds from your own daylilies. I have some pods on my lilies just starting this week. However, I understand they take 40-60 days to mature. That takes us into frost here in Winnipeg. I would like to try and see if I can grow some over winter, but wonder if it is even possible. Or, should I just buy seed on the LA as I note some of you already do? Thanks |

| I have collected seeds here, outside of Brandon. You just have to hope for a late fall. I have also used 5 gallon pails to cover the seed pods if frost threatens too. You can also try cutting the scape and putting it into water to let the pod mature more, but this will only work if it's a week or two away from maturity. It is possible, so give it a try. I've posted some pictures of my seedlings on the Gallery, and those are all seeds that I've collected from my garden. Good luck, |

| Thanks Laurie. Sounds like a lot of effort! All my daylilies seem to be pretty late this year. The only one setting seed pods early is Stella D'or and I have enough of her. I guess I will stick to purchasing new daylilies from growers, unless I get lucky this fall. |
