Hi - I just received some lilies called 'blackberry''.

There are lots of little black balls on the ends-

where they flowered. They are just a tad larger than

beebees. If, I plant these little balls,will

lilies sprout??? Please advise me.

Thank you,so much! tina_2

Try posting this on the perennials forum. These are not true lilies, plus there's more visitors on that forum so you're more likely to get a response.

The Iris forum would also be a good place, since blackberry "lilies" are actually a member of the Iris family.

Your "bee-bees" are seeds, and should sprout. I would hold them in the frig or in a cool part of the house until you are ready to plant them next spring, whenever that is for you. Use a paper envelope, as these sees hold a lot of moisture. Unless they are dried sufficiently, they will mold in a plastic bag.
