I've been growing daylilies from seed now for 5 years. If you aren't too picky many of them are just fine to keep. For a while I planted 100 new seedlings each year, then cut it down to 50, then 25, then this fall I managed to only plant 4 lonely seeds and have 3 seedlings to plant this spring. I'm totally out of daylily room! As they bloomed I choose about 5 each year that are the best and give them another year. The rest I have given away or threw away if they looked pretty bad. At first I bought my daylily seed, then as I bought some nicer daylilies, I pollinated and grew my own too. I have 2 that I've kept, just too pretty! A wonderful addiction if you have the room!!
