- If you've ever seen a seed pod on a daylily and wondered what it is or how to get the seeds, this is the video for you!
This video is the updated version of an older one we also have on our channel. In this one, we go into depth about what daylily seed pods are, how to retrieve and plant the seeds, and how long you can expect to wait before you see bloom.
Here at the farm, unless we are hybridizing or have an especially valuable or rare daylily plant, we usually don't plant the seeds. We let them fall naturally. We don't rely on seeds to increase our stock. We do that by dividing the plant or planting proliferations (if it is a proliferating variety).
If you are interested in proliferating daylilies, you can watch our video on that phenomenon here: • Free Daylilies! | Unde...
Something to consider: Some daylily seeds require stratification in order to bloom. Others don't. Unless you know the genetic lineage of the parent plant, you really don't know whether a seed will bloom without stratification or not. Therefore, it's generally considered to be a good rule of thumb to stratify all daylily seeds before planting. Here's a link from the American Daylily Society's website that helps explain that process: daylilies.org/daylily-diction...

ABOUT US:
Oakes Daylilies is a family-owned daylily farm that's been in business for three generations. Our daylilies grow in home gardens, city parks and botanical gardens across the nation- including Hawaii and Canada. We are known in the industry as Daylily Experts and grow over 1000 varieties of daylilies on nearly 70 acres in East Tennessee. But over 50 years ago, we started just like you-with one daylily in a home garden.
.............................
FARM-FRESH TO YOU!
When it comes to daylily plants, bigger is better! All of the plants we ship will be three fans or larger - two or three times (or more) what you might receive from other companies. Larger plants get established faster and produce more blooms quicker.
All of your plants will be freshly dug when you order. The leaves are trimmed and the plants are washed and air-dried. Your daylilies will be out of the ground less than 48 hours before they’re headed your way.

In Michigan they seem to take over the yard without adding more.
I sure didn’t know they could be planted, always thought they’d steal too much from the plant and popped them off right away. Always dropped them into the bed but nope, didn’t plant them! Thanks so much!
Awesome video thank you! I’ve seen those seed heads so many times and wondered if I could harvest and then plant them. I’m gonna try it for sure. This is exciting‼️
Thanks Donna! It's a fun project. If you try planting them, let us know what happens.
I live in zone 7 and don't chill them. I collect now, then winter sow in water jugs. I get good plants first year and sometimes flowers.
That's terrific!
Hello :) what do you mean by winter sow in water jugs?
When you leave the seed pods on the plants it does take some nutrition from the plant.
Therefore I just cut off the spent blossem stalks as far down as I can.
I find that the varieties that are refered to as "evergreen" (meaning that they do not go dormant at they bloom) will bloom much more and grow more vigorously than when the old stalks with seed pods are left growing on the plant.
Thanks so much for the information! I had no idea that I could grow day lilies from seed. I can’t wait to try it!!
Thanks for watching our video. If you decide to try planting from seed, let us know how it goes!
Thanks for this video, and i did subscribe when I heard you say
TENNESSEE,i live on the Tennessee/Georgia line, on Georgia side, but i know i can watch your videos and go by them, since we're neighbors, again thank you, and I've never harvested my seeds on my daylillies, but I'm gonna start,i love harvesting my own seeds and giving some to neighbors, family, and friends✌️🌻🦋
Hi neighbor! Thanks for subscribing! We plan to harvest more this year (and hopefully remember to water the seedlings!)
So nice to know my germination rates are so low because I harvest the seeds after the pods have dried completely. Also, you are so right it usually takes 3 years to get a bloom and see what the flower is. Knowing how long it takes one would think I would just quit collecting them but nevertheless I do it every year. 🧐 More than 15 years ago I had a Stella D’oro bloom the year it was planted, and never since!
As you well know, growing daylilies from seed is not for those without patience! We love the "trial and error" aspect of it, though!
Yes, yes I have!
Thank you Ken!
Thanks for watching!
I live in Alberta, Canada, in a Zone 3/4 and I have been growing daylilies for many years. Some of my daylilies did not bloom but like magic, they are finally sending out beautiful blossoms. I have always wondered how to propagate them from seed, and your video is very informative. Not all my daylilies are making pods and I have noticed that I am not getting any babies from the seeds that fall to the ground. Thank you for making this excellent video!
Thanks for watching! We appreciate it and love knowing how daylilies do for you in Alberta!
I just ran across your channel and you confirmed what I had thought to be so about the seeds. I would imagine it’s like that for any flower that produces seed pods like peonies for example. I’m going to give it a try when pods come out for both the lilies and peonies. It’s the end of June 2024 right now. I live in northern Vermont and my day lilies are just starting to open some flowers. I just like to add you are quite pleasing to the eye! Handsome man you are.
Thank you for watching. If you are try harvesting seeds, let us know: we're always interested in what other gardeners try!
Thanks just planted some in S.E. Tennessee.. Waiting to see if they come up.
Hey-- we're in East Tennessee! That's cool that you've already tried it-- let us know if anything comes up.
Did you mean to freeze the seeds or can I keep the seeds in the refrigerator?
I really love all of these daylily hybridizing videos. They have been super useful to me and you explain things beautifully. Thank you so much for putting this out there. I will have a lot of seeds because I have gone nuts, cross pollinating everything, the first day Lily I germinated was a fluke and I still don't know what it looks like lol but this year I was intentional in my crosses and though I was not able to keep track of everything that I crossed, I have some really cool colors on the plants that I already have so being able to mix any of them I think will make delightful crosses.
If I plant them all inside After I can harvest them and give them light and at least above freezing temperatures after I stratify them, since I live in zone 4b , Is that a possibility that I can cut the waiting time down at all?
If you get them started inside this summer/fall, just keep them from really cold temps over the winter (they won't mind being exposed to some cold temps), and that should help you speed up the time before they're ready to bloom. (Probably still going to be year after next.)
I tried pollinating from one variety to another. I think I let the pods get too dry to harvest. I will try again another year!
New here from middle Tennessee 6B
Hi! Welcome-- and thanks for watching!
My day lilly sheds seeds and grows little plants around the base every single year.......for the past 10+ years. All yellow, I just need to find someone with a different colour to swap lolll
👍 🇨🇦
That's funny, we have 3 active hives on our property! Free plants?
Thank you so much! This is my first year growing daylilies and I was wondering what those green pods were. Silly me!
Not silly at all! Lots of people wonder the same thing! If you have questions, please feel free to reach out. We love to talk about daylilies!
We have wild and hybrid daylilies. Is it worthwhile to save seeds or will they likely regress? Wild ones have only one window they bloom in, whereas the hybrids bloom much longer, especially after deadheading. Leery about getting short window varieties. Thanks!
We only grow hybrid daylilies. I'm not 100% sure what to tell you about wild daylilies.
Wild daulilies don't produce seed
You described the type of soil to best plant the daylilies' seeds but please, how deep do you plant the harvested seeds?
That's a great question! Daylilies don't like to be planted too deeply. 1/2" to 3/4" is plenty deep enough for them.
Did you mean "freezer" or just refrigerator temp?
Freezer. ❄
Do you put them in ziplock bags by themselves or with a paper towel
We keep things super simple-- we put them straight in the ziplock bags. No paper towels or anything.
