Hypogeal seeds
These lilies are for the experienced gardener, requiring a bit more care in their germination. They first develop bulblets underground (while temperatures are warm, so start them in summer or indoors in the fall); winter cold (or 12 weeks of refrigeration) is needed before the first leaf can emerge above ground. You can give the warm stage/cool stage treatment to seeds in plastic bags of damp (but aerated) peat or vermiculite and watch the bullets grow, then put them in the fridge until conditions are good for planting outside. These will show a few flowers in the second summer after the first leaf appears, with large stems the following year. |

Where do our wonderful lilies come from?
Many of
our hybrids are "test-tube babies"
produced by embryo rescue, which enables us to make
crosses Mother Nature never thought of. Judith's first
embryo-cultured lily flowered in 1973, and every year
brings a new crop of "babies" at The Lily
Garden! |
