I started some candy lily seeds last fall and potted them up when they got a little bigger and never got around to planting them, so they've been really root bound in a shallow pot. And now one has buds! They're less than a year old. Everything I've read says it'll take about 3 years from seed.
Is this possible with candylilies?
I grew some candy lilies many years ago and I believe they bloomed at about 18 months of age...so I guess it could be possible. Hope you get some pretty colors, mine were all orange or yellow.
Hopefully they'll look like Teresa's pic. http://www.tsflowers.com/html/pardancanda.html
Oh, I just read it, plants will bloom the first year from seed.
Look at the color of this one:

Aren't those great?
Here is a picture of my yellow one:
I started Candlilies in March of this year. They bloomed last month.
I love the pastel ones and they look large too. I love big flowers.
Does anyone have these seeds for trade or sase? They are beautiful!
