Most lilies require a period of warm temps ... and this is when they sprout a single root. After this step the need a cool period to simulate winter (12 weeks). When brought back into the warmth they sprout their first leaves. I did some last year. http://davesgarden.com/journal/viewentry/142/index.html The seeds need to be fresh for good germination. I wish I had some seeds for you but I cut all mine back since the lily beetles have invaded.

thank you that is terrific information. Do you have any blossoms from these lilies? it is a year and a half later now.
