That's it. They are really easy from seeds and you might have 1st flowers after just one year.
They usually germinate 2-3 weeks after sowing.
Hi Luka, well I did exactly all the above. Now I have two separate pots of hair thin seedlings in a sheltered sunny spot. We are moving towards fall. How do you care for them for the first winter? When do you prick them apart?. Mine seem just too fragile yet. They were sown Nov 8 and emerged Jan 7. That is two months later. Of course I live in a cool summer part of the world, so everything takes a bit longer. For owerwintering I do have greenhouses ( heated and cool). Would you suggest moving them there? By the slow growth, mine do not look like that they will be ready for bloom year #1 but if I understood correctly they may reach acceptable size by year # 2 which is fine with me. Should I expect the initial leaf blade, yellow and die, while I wait for it to grow further foliage later? These are the natural follow questions beyond step 3.
in advance. My various lily sowings, have had a fairly high success rate, so now I'm moving towards the initial first year growth care.
