Good morning! Well, it's almost noon here! I was googling germination techniques and found the paper towel method but following the links I read about "osmopriming".
All the discussions were about peppers, and I'm wondering if this could help with daylily germination too.
The method it's to soak seeds for at least 24 hours to a maximum of 48 hours in a solution of water and kitchen salt (that is properly the osmopriming thing). After that the seeds are rinsed well and placed on damp paper towels in a plastic container with a lid, with some holes for air. People doing this are raving about it, they get germination in from 24 hours to 4 days.
The osmopriming seems to lead to a fast and succesful germination in 100% of the cases.
The salt in water causes the seeds to plump immedately and forces germination.
Any experience similar to this? If the seeds I will collect fron the only pod I have will be enough I will try this on some.
