10 seeds Sowing lily of the valley from seed is possible but less common than propagating via division, and it requires a cold stratification (chilling) for at least two months to germinate. You can sow the seeds outdoors in the fall or early winter in a seed container to give them the necessary cold for germination. Steps to Sow Lily of the Valley from Seed Cold Stratification: Place the seeds in a cold environment, such as a humid environment in the refrigerator, for at least two months to mimic natural winter conditions and signal that it is time for germination. Sow Outdoors: After stratification, sow the seeds outdoors in the fall or early winter in a seed container or directly into the soil. Prepare the Soil: Make sure the soil is well-drained and slightly acidic to create optimal growing conditions. Water and Mulch: Keep the soil evenly moist, but not wet. Feel free to cover the soil with a layer to retain moisture and regulate temperature. Wait for Germination: It takes time for the seeds to germinate and grow. Be patient while they establish themselves.
