AH, this is a topic that most interests me. I've received seed of several species of Fritillaria, Lilium and others, as well as seed of some Asiatic Lily crosses I've made this summer. I do a Ga3 treatment of 300 ppm on all of the seed, soak for 24 hours, then do a brief rinse and soak in plain water. The seed is then sown in small pans in extremely well drained soil, and given a warm treatment for 3-4 weeks. Then out into the cold , and miracle of miracles, they are already germinating.
