You will likely achieve better results from a combination of breaking the seed coat (gently rub the seeds with sandpaper or a rock) and cold stratification (several weeks in the refrigerator). We keep our Blackberry Lily seeds in the refrigerator before filling them into packets, but you may want to refrigerate them longer if you can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStart seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before your last frost and keep above 70 degrees. Up-pot your seedlings to 3\" pots. For best results, harden off the seedlings before transplanting them into your garden after the last frost.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSeed keeping notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHarvest the seed clusters when the fleshy fruits have shriveled and the seeds inside have hardened.
