LILIES FROM SEED 
Growing lilies from seed may well be the gardener’s most thrilling adventure. That 
these tiny wafer-like seed can produce such gorgeous flowers is a never-ending marvel. 
Lilies from seed have numerous advantages over other methods of propagation because 
they develop free of disease and if not infected from other lilies they remain disease free. 
Seeds of a wide variety of lilies are available and for a small investment you may produce 
many fine bulbs. There is no fortune in lily growing but there is a wealth of interesting 
adventure and pleasure far exceeding your fondest expectations. 
SEED OF SPECIES LILIES 
Most of these come reasonably true from seed, though occasionally they differ from the 
parent stocks. With most varieties of species lilies, growing from seed is considered the 
best way to propagate them. We have divided the lists into two groups, those easy and 
quick and those slow and sometimes difficult. Both groups contain many of the finest 
varieties and the slower ones are well worth waiting for.
