I harvest my hemerocallis seeds as soon as ripe (sometimes as early as
August) and store them in a zip-lock bag filled with just-moist coarse
sphagnum until the spring. Then I remove the bag from the frig and store at
room temp until I observe the seeds beginning to germinate. I then remove
the germinating ones from the bag to larger pots for growing on. I've
found this zip-lock bag method to work very well for most types of larger
seeds.
