LILIES FROM SEED 
Growing Lilies from seed is very interesting, and in some instances, it is more 
satisfactory than planting the bulbs. It requires from two to three years to obtain 
a flowering size bulb from seed. Some varieties of Lily seed germinate very quickly, 
while others remain in the ground one year before making any sign of growth. 
Therefore, care should be taken in not destroying the boxes or beds containing Lily 
seeds. The seeds may be grown either in the spring or the fall, in same manner as 
suggested for growing Gladiolus seed. When the seedlings are large enough to 
handle, they may be transplanted to a permanent location.
