Hello Darm, Having recieved a very generus amount of seed of Lilium chalcedonicum from a friend, I have read the germination instruction on the PBS website. What a wealth of knowledge! The process of germinating L. chalcedonicum seed similar to L leichtlinii seed seems quite complicated, especially the freezing period irritates me. I have never done such thing in the past but have germinated many Lilium species, including hypogeal ones sucessfully. The seed I have here was harvested in 2015. I know that Lilium seed is quite long lived. My question now is: shall I proceed exactly like indicated under L. leichtlinii even though my seed is 2 years old? Or would there be modifications due to the age of the seed? I could easily split the amount into different lots to try different regimes. But your advice would be most welcome. There would also be enough seed to share with the PBS, but would it make sense with old seed? It would have to wait until the seed exchange would accept seed again anyway. Looking forward to hearing from you, thank you very much!
