Hi RIRISH,
yep they sure sprouted and are a bit taller than yours in photo. I have them under lights so give them a haircut when the leaves touches the light bulbs.

I have 6 of each Get Jiggy x Blue Hippo
Get Jiggy x Gaskins seedling.

So far I am raising 118 daylily seedlings with a few more coming. Most are seeds from LA, others are my own crosses. Once they have sprouted, I don't lose any. I have lost a few in the germination process.

I use Expert potting soil from Walmart when I pot in 3" foam coffee mugs. The seeds go in a seedling mix. If you are loosing seedlings, you may be watering too much or incorrectly. I place the pots in a pan with water. I then pour some water on the soil so that the water is drawn up from the drainage holes. This way the whole rootball gets moisture.

Here too, I can't plant until end of May.

Below is just a small batch on one 4ft shelf of seedlings. Photo taken Feb. 18, 2012
