I have lily seeds....what do I do next?

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

I bought some lily seeds from Buggy Crazy as I have never tried growing a lily from seed.
Here are the ones I purchased:

Oriental seedling mixed
Lily Yellow Henry OP
Lily- Hearld Angel X Emerald Angel
Lily- Aurelian OP

So how do I plant them? Do I chill them first? Put them outside on the ground or inside under lights??
TYIA for any and all info!!!

Pixie, we have had a few threads on this over the last year and they are very helpful. Sometimes I wish we could have a scales and seedlings sticky. Seeds are great fun!

Here is another thread I started last year.... Oriental lily seeds require 3 months warm, then 3 months cold. You need to get them started inside now for them to come up in the spring.

Does this mean I've been bitten by the bug? I was only interested in planting bulbs.....now this!

pard I was looking all over for your seed starting thread because it was there that I was successful.

It is much easier for a person to find a thread they started than for someone else to find it. But now that Dave has added the little yellow Favorites Folder (top right) you can now go to the important thread (once you find it, lol) and click on the yellow folder. You won't have to hunt for that thread again.

The links in my seed starting thread are excellent references in my opinion. Buggycrazy also has instructions on her site.
