Starting daffodils from seed

Triad(for a few more, NC(Zone 7a)

Hello,

I searched and did not find anything on this topic so thought I would post here. I have quite a few daffodils that have some nice fat seed pods and would like to try and start some seeds. Can anyone tell me how to do that?

Thanks,
Susan

Hi Again,
I did Google this and got some interesting info. Of course of the 3 different sites I found there were 3 different ways to start daff seeds. But what was the most interesting is that if the seeds are from hybrids you may get a variety that is from one of the parents. Cool!

Does anyone have any experience starting daff seeds?

No I don't think they all make seeds, but I got some nice seed pods full of seeds off of some of mine this year so I am going to start them in the Fall in my greenhouse.

Ian Young recommends planting seed at a 5 cm depth

I am not good with variety names but the one I got the most seeds from was a white with peach colored trumpet. I have them waiting in my greenhouse and will plant them in trays in Fall. It is fun trying this stuff.
