Here is how I started perennial seeds with the Deno method. Can be used with all varieties of perennial seeds, including Daylily.

Soak seeds in hand hot water over night. Then cut a kitchen paper towel in half. Fold the half towel twice. Wet it and squeeze excess moisture. You want it moist, not wet.

Place your seeds in the center of the towel, fold one end over the seeds twice. Place this in a zip lock baggie. Zip it closed but leace 1/2" open at one end. Blow it up like a balloon, then quickly zip it close. The air inside will stay if the tracks are correctly lined up. It prevents the towel from sticking to the plastic sides.

Stratify your seeds in the fridge for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks place them in room temp to sprout. Carefully open the towel and check every 3 days. As soon as you see them sprout, plant them in seed container or pot in potting soil. Depth as you would if not used a kitchen towel. Space 1" apart.

Here are sprouted seeds Geranium 'Vision' still in the paper towel just prior to planting up. I used tweezers to hold the seedling.
