Another method is to mix the seed with damp peat moss, seal in a plastic bag and keep it at around 22c. degrees until the seed has germinated. They will produce a little bulbil after about up to twelve weeks. Then put the bag in the fridge (not the freezer) for about nine weeks, after which time, plant into your seed box.

Also, by separation of the smaller bulbils which grow on the base of the mother plant of some species and these can be potted up on their own. Species like the Tiger Lily produce small stem bulbils between the leaves and the stem. These will drop off when mature and can be planted immediately and will flower in the second or third year.

Well, that's all for this session. Next article, I will continue with other methods to use and discuss growing-on seedlings. Join me then.

Why not join the Lilium Society near you and learn more about this glorious species?

Have a browse through the North Americam Lily Society page at: "http://www.lilies.org/"
