Don, I germinate L. grayi (when I can get it!) the same way I do L. canadense and their intergrade, L. x pseudograyi - two to three months moist stratification at room temperature followed by two or three months cold stratification in the fridge. I try to sow Lilium and Fritillaria when the seeds would be ripe, no matter when I get them, so that leaf emergence happens right when they'd be coming up in the wild. If I need to prolong stratification to delay germination, I give the seeds more time warm moist stratifying. -joe in SW VA where a rogue Packera on a south-facing slope just burst into bloom On Sun, Jan 24, 2021, 7:07 PM Donald LaFond via pbs < pbs@lists.pacificbulbsociety.net> wrote: > Hello all > > I'm a long time lurker to this website and get good info but now I have a > question I hope someone has some experience with. > > Lilium grayi, this is a plant I have lusted over for years.
