According to McRae's "Lilies," germination is delayed hypogeal. Eddie McRae added this kind of information from his own experience, and so I think it can be trusted. The species chapter is based on Feldmaier & McRae, Lilien (1982), my translation, to which Eddie added paragraphs on cultivation and use in hybridization of each species. I worked with him on this Timber Press book, which he carefully wrote out in his very legible hand.
