I have seeds that were sent to me, they are hard black seeds about the size of a pea, do I soak them first, plant in the spring, or start them in the house now.

Need help planting Black lily seeds
Doesn't sounds like lily seeds, any idea what kind they are? Maybe blackberry lily?

sounds like daylily (hemerocallis) seeds, possibly, to me.
They do look exactly like my blackberry lily seeds, (I have lots of those) here are the names on the packets, Isle of Zansibar, Toothpick, Mascara Snake, Belamcanda Chinensis. any help?
Doris
yep, blackberry lily, which, if I remember are members of the iris family
After a quick internet search, all of those names come up as daylilies (with the exception of Belamcanda).
You might want to double-check with the person that sent them to you. There's lots of good seed-starting information in the Daylily forum.
Sounds like you might have different types of seeds there. Moby is correct, I zeroed in on the last one and that one is the 'blackberry lily' seeds.
