rain lily seed pods?

My rain lilies bloomed a month or so ago and it looks like now they are making seed pods.They look like those same pods on my daylilies Should I cut these off so that they will bloom again(assuming we get rain) or does it matter? thanks

I have two different ones and let them spread the seeds to the winds. I love the way they pop up in the beds or grass. If you want to harvest seed to plant elsewhere, let them dry on the plant. I may be wrong (won't be the first time) but I don't believe cutting them off will change anything. I usually get two or three spates of blooms on these...

This one is a wildflower and always surprises me by popping up in the lawn as well as the beds. In bloom for one day... Habranthus Tubispathis

There is no need to cut the blooms off. They will bloom again without doing so.

Thanks for the help, I like the idea of spreading to other parts of the garden.I'll let them dry on the plant,then sprinkle them where I hope they'll grow.

Sounds like a plan! I like to be surprised with blooms from these too...

Teacup,

I let my rain lilly seed pods stay on until they begin to split, then I harvest them and plant immediately.

Dale, do you sprinkle on the top of the soil or if not how deep do you plant?

I plant mine in a soil high in peat about 1/4-1/2 inch deep and keep them in a shady (not dark) place. Moist, but, not soggy. I am not very precise on planting, in this life your on your own in my garden.

I keep all my rain lilies in containers and I fertilize them. They bloom repeatedly in the long days of summer. The ones I see in the ground aren't nearly as happy.

After a couple years I plant them at the places where I work. Rain lilies are like any 'grass' they like light frequent fertilization.

The big flowered pink I showed above never makes seed, even with me trying to pollenize by hand. I started out with about 5 bulbs 2 years ago. I have about 500 now.

This one makes lots of seeds, I don't know the species for sure, found it in yard after they tore a house down for development into an apartment block>
