Hemerocallis
I have collected a few seeds from a Hemerocallis seed pod and intend to
try germinating them. Having heard Carol Kleine recently say that Hemerocallis tend to be sterile, I'm wondering if they're viable. Only one way to find out. I've read mixed guidelines about sowing them. The only constant seems to be that they should be sown 1/2" deep and kept cool and moist. Has anyone else on urg tried to grow Hemerocallis from seed? If so, how did you get on? -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |

There's recently been a thread about Pollie's Day Lilies. If you visit her site (http://www.polliesdaylilies.co.uk/?) you'll find loads of references to seedlings, hybridisation (which is going to be a seed producing thing) and so on. IME, Pollie is a real day lily enthusiast and goes out of her way to be helpful. If no-one in the group answers your question, you could try dropping her an email (link on her site) My order from her arrived today! Excitement! -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |

I missed the earlier thread as I've had a weeks holiday and hardly had the laptop on since. I'll see if I can find it. -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |

I love day lillies and would like to increase my collection. I've only got two yellow cvs at the moment and would love some of the reddish ones and bicolours. I'm going to look to Polly's site now ... -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |

They're potted up for now (they arrive bare-rooted) because we are going to have a re-jig of the border under the kitchen and office windows and I'd like to put them in there, if Ray agrees. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.com South Devon www.helpforheroes.org.uk |
