Well,I'm not sure of specific varieties as Stargazer, but I purchased 1 year old dried seeds once from NALS, they were only 49 cents per pkt. Their fresh seeds cost more I remember. I know I bought some orientals, asiatics, & species types. I winter sowed them & got really good germination. I've collected from asiatic lilies before & winter sowed those, got decent germination. You have to look at the seeds to see if they will be viable, sometimes you just get very thin paperlike seeds that probably aren't. I look to see the dark spot inside, I believe that is the actual seeds. Asiatics are supposed to be the easiest, with species the most particular. I just winter sowed them all the same.

Hi Annette, If you think $1 per bulb is reasonable, I could give you the info you need for a couple mail order companies that offer many Asiatic & Oriental bulbs for a great price. Even Lowes/HD have some varieties that avg $1 ea. I have several on the way from a mail order mag. myself. Can't beat the price. LMK & I'll forward you the info. Happy diggin' =)

Prcooled before planting?I haven't heard of that,but maybe that is if you plant them in the spring and are expecting blooms the same year.Go ahead and plant them now.They will get the cold needed this winter and will bloom for you next year.

My new favorite is Sunshine Flower Bulbs. Their catalogue is online. Because I ordered so many lily bulbs, they called me and offered to let me buy wholesale, so now I can buy everything they sell wholesale, with free shipping over $150. Everything I bought came up and bloomed beautifully. Last fall I purchased 200 Orienpets and received very large healthy bulbs at a wonderful price. Can't wait to see my lily bed in August! I'm now getting ready to order Asiatics, as they have a good sale going on. On sale are mainly the larger size bulbs, which is a very good bargain. They are new, but I highly recommend the company. I have also ordered from Gordon Wild & Sons; they have bulk pricing and I used them to get acquainted with the types of lilies and to fill up a bare spot. Their bulbs are a little small, though very healthy and a bargain.
