Favorite place to buy Daylily seeds? - Page 2

Karla,

Those are nice daylilies. Eventually I'd like to be able to cross my varieties as well. Part of the reason I wanted to grow some was because I watched a segment on Gardening by the Yard that showed how easy it was to make crosses. Looked a much less delicate process to me than crossing tomatoes.

Last year I only had one variety bloom. This spring I'm going to transplant all of them to a sunnier area of the yard, and hope I get many more to bloom. This may be the year for making daylily crosses! Ya-hoo!

Good Luck! with crossing your daylilies .
Very! easy to do and what surprises you get from growing crossed seeds.
Takes a couple yrs.for blooms and worth the wait.

Best year for my daylilies grown from seed so far. They all have grown well, and there are many blooms about to open. One already has, it's a darker, but still pale, colored purple, with deep yellow in the middle of the flower.

I'm not at the garden every day, as it's not where I reside, so probably wont be able to do the crosses I've been looking forward to doing for a couple of years.

Surprised they are doing so well, as they are still located in an area that's in partial shade much of the day - they are on the north side of the house, and close to it.
