Dear Friends,
Our summer is past, our present is now, and our future is here – in the
form of little black daylily seeds. They may not look so pretty, but we
can hardly wait to see what grows from those funny shapes. Beautiful
sometimes, sometimes not so much, it’s for sure they’re seldom boring.
And, it’s for sure, daylily-people never lack for something that’s fun to
do.
These seeds have been cold-treated and are ready for planting, but they
should be refrigerated until they are planted. We don’t recommend outside
planting in the fall, if freezing weather occurs frequently.
For outside
planting, sow the seeds
about
½” deep and keep
them moist. You may need to place a board over them to prevent their
becoming displaced in a heavy rain. You can transplant them when the
foliage is about 6” tall. For indoor planting, cover your seed about
¼” deep and keep them moist and warm
in a sunny window or under lights. If you would like more complete
instructions, email me at
forestlake@comcast.net. We are glad to talk with you by telephone, but
I have a voice problem, and you may find communications easier by email.
You will find the seed prices in parentheses after each cross. Unless
otherwise indicated, this is the price per seed. This price includes
shipping and handling, even outside the USA.
There is no total minimum order, but there is a minimum of $3.00 per
individual cross. For example, if a seed costs $2.00 each, we ask that you
order two for $4.00. Labeling each cross is labor-intensive, so we have
to draw a line.
We do not substitute without permission. You may wish to include a list of
acceptable substitutes when ordering, as this will give you a better
selection than if you re-order after you receive a refund, when stocks are
less complete. Some of you may like for us to select your substitute seed,
or part, or all of your seed order for you. We are glad to do this. Just
email us at
forestlake@comcast.net to tell us what you want in your
seedlings and we’ll be happy to choose seeds based on your preferences.
You may prefer to list your seed choices by number and letter. For
example,
1a would be
BLUE HIPPO ON
Blue Me Away. The daylily named first
is the pollen parent. As you can see, we have often shortened FORESTLAKE
to F. in the seed list.

country, and we give BONUS SEEDS with every order. Payment can be made
with Paypal, personal check, and domestic or international money order.
Happy
hunting,
