Question
I live in Ohio and have noticed small black seeds in the top pod area off spent bush type yellow lilies.  These are not mine.  I have seen them at golf course and a nice landscaped down town area.  Both had no one available to inquire.
Is it possible to grow these from collecting those little, what look to be seeds, or from bulbs only.

Answer
Hi P Pack,
I think the seeds you are describing are from a type of day lily like Stella D'Oro. Yes, you can grow the seeds but the resulting plants will probably not resemble the parent plants exactly if they are hybrids and you have no way of knowing unless you can find out from whomever planted them.  The seeds are easy to grow.  Plant them about 1/2 deep in a pot of good potting soil.  Moist but not soggy soil and place the pot inside a plastic baggy.  Leave it in the fridge for at least 60 days (not the freezer).  Bring the pot out into room temperature and sprouting should occur within a couple of weeks. I would wait until late winter to start this process.  Once sprouting has occurred, take the pot out of the plastic baggie and give it plenty of light and keep the soil moist.  The seedlings can be removed to separate cells after two or three leaves have developed.  Move the seedlings outdoors to a spot that is protected from direct sunlight, rain, hail, wind and extremes in temperatures.  Make sure you do this after the last frost and keep the seedlings in this spot for 10 days.  After that, the seedlings will be acclimated to the outdoors and can be planted in the desired garden bed.  It will take 2-3 years for blooming.  I hope this helps.
