Has anyone got any tips for growing oriental/asiatic hybrids from seed?  I've got seeds but no instructions.  I know they won't come true but not fussed about that.

Plant them and see! Lilies are a mixed bunch; some are epigeal (they germinate in the familiar way), others are hypogeal (the seed leaves never emerge; they grow a root, then the first thing to emerge is the first true leaf). Some are immediate, and come up promptly, others are delayed, and need a cool period. Plant them, out them out somewhere, and see what happens.

Then wait anywhere between 3 to 6 years for a flower.

Thanks chaps.  I'll have a go and see what happens.
