Sorry, I haven't done this. I have MANY day lilies, but didn't think you could cross breed them. They make babies by sending out runners from the main root bulb which then forms another root bulb that produces another lily. Hopefully someone will come around that might be able to help you.

I've never done this, or even had daylilyies before. I had seeds, bujt never bothered to sow them. From what I know, I'd just let the bees do it. I'm pretty sure that seeds will not get you a replicaof the parent. So it's times like this that I'm actually thankful for those creepy crawlies!

Myabe cross breed isn't the right word.....Im trying to make a new daylily hybrid by crossing two existing ones...like the daylily farms do.
