Seedhead on Daylily - what to do with it?

Hi
I have a seedhead come up on my daylily, not sure how as I thought I had taken all the flowers off each day. It is about 2cm x 2cm.

Is it worth keeping to try and grow more plants with? If so, what should I do, this is something I have never done before.

Many thanks.

 

Hi Jupes, yes you can grow your seeds on to make more plants if you have others in the garden they could have cross pollinated and you may have something new, they do take 2-3 years to flower from seed, just wait till the seed pod turns brown it will then open to reveal large black seeds collect these and store in the fridge till autumn or spring, I've germinated then very sucessfully in plastic bags with a small amount of damp vermiculite in the fridge, they take 6-8 weeks to germinate,or sow them autumn or spring in seed trays in a unheated greenhouse, some autumn sown ones may not germinate till the following spring so don't throw them away, good luck.

 

Thanks.

Erm.. I only have this one, so don't think it can have been pollinated :(

 

Most likely be just be the same as the parent then.

 

Cheers, will give it a go. I had intended to split it also this winter as it has been in 3 yrs and now has two heads on it.
