How long does it take? Hmm... I'm sure someone can tell you a better than I because I don't pay much attention to them until they get large enough that they need to be separated.

Some lilies are more prolific than others and spit babies babies out left and right, but this is generally how it goes ~ the first year little bulbs (bulblets) develop on the stem, the next you'll get leaflets, then next a spindly stem and after that you'll have a nice size stem of lilies. But those are my poor observations. ;)

Here you can see (in the stem roots) that a bulbet has developed nicely, has been growing on it's own and is ready to be replanted.
