The elegant appearance of the day lily belies the ease with which it grows. Almost every landscape has a spot to grow these beautiful flowers. Day Lilies are suitable for hardiness zones 4 to 9 and require little care. They can grow almost anywhere, with at least half a day of sun. They will flourish in either full or partial sun and will adapt to a variety of soil and climate conditions. Plus, it’s very easy to create your own variety when you grow daylilies from seed.
Once it’s done, the flowers are left alone to their own devices. They are vegetative plants and form an ever-expanding mass. The mass must be dug up and divided every year.
The types of writing are thousands of lilies of the day. Flowers come in many shades and combinations of yellow, red, gold, pink, peach and even green. Life blooms in the raagna, as the name suggests, only for one day. But the clearing plants are literally covered in buds and will bloom for weeks in early summer. Many varieties, such as the classic golden-yellow Stella de Oro, rebloom throughout the summer.
How to plant a day lily from seed?

When you know how to plant day lilies from seed, you have the opportunity to create exciting new, never-before-seen plants.
Lily Seed Collection Day
A green flower pod will appear at the base of the flower. The vessel swells and dries up, brown, after the flower is consumed, dripping. After a few weeks, opening the container at one end, the seeds burst. In a week or two the seeds have had an opportunity after the drought to be harvested. Store the seeds in winter.
Sprout and Hydrate
Ten weeks before the last frost date for your zone, seeds should be placed in plastic Zip-Loc bags with paper towels such as paper towels or moss jet and one to two teaspoons of water. Squeeze out any air from the bags and seal. Place the bags in the refrigerator and check the seeds daily and plant any that sprout.
To Plant
All seeds that sprout should sprout within 3 to 4 weeks. Seeds should be planted high in pots or flats, in the middle of the starting seed. They grow from seeds in a sunny window or under lights. Day Lily seeds do not like to dry up and be checked frequently. Transplant the seeds outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. New plants don’t bloom for two to three years, but the promise of a unique plant makes the wait worth it.
Free form of charity
