Welcome! Sabrina!

I found the link below very helpful and still have the section about "Daylily Seed Germination" posted on my refrigerator. I used the Dry Refrigeration method: After harvesting the seeds and letting them dry out for a few days, I put them in paper envelopes, marked the envelope with the cross, then put the envelopes in a plastic bag for 6 weeks. Then I followed the directions about putting the seeds in plastic bags filled with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and water and put them back into the fridge for 3 more weeks. Then I planted them in pots and let them grow over the winter with a light above them. Out of 26 seeds that I grew last winter in the house, 23 survived and they are now living happily outside. I hope to see some scapes next year!

Here's a picture of the seedlings taken in December 2014. You can barely see the light above. I had 3 seeds per 4 inch pot.
