My Frans Hals have more seed pods than ever on them.

T never cut them off. I wait until they are ripe and split open--
just like on "stellas". But then--I collect seeds from everything...

Actually--what all Day lilies produce are not really "SEEDS"--
they are soft "bulbils"--which can be planted and will grow to bloom
size in about 3-4 years. Many of you may have gotten baby
Tiger Lilies from me--That is just the way they all started.

I grew 2 DL from "seeds" I got at one of the first seed Swaps in 2008.
They were from Nancy-Md...something...She hybridized them.
I just planted them in 8" pots and left them be outside.
To protect the new seedlings a bit--I put the pots among my bigger DL.
I did not do anything special for them other than watering.
One of them bloomed last year. This year, they both bloomed.

SO--Mine are LOADED with seed pods! I am, patiently, waiting
to harvest them.....I have had some takers--but not too many...
I guess it is not "instant Gratification" to grow something from "seed"...
