Growing Daylily Seeds

I've bought some hybrid daylily seeds from unknown parents.
Below is the seed packet, they look like tiny raisins. They have been dried and chilled in the refrigerator for some weeks(stratification)

I planted some seeds in 16oz beer cups, these are mostly the second batch. The soil is 2 parts Miracle Gro Enriched Potting Mix to 1 part Composted manure. The seeds were soaked(floated really) in water for one day except the tag that says 'peroxide' they were immersed in a very weak peroxide solution for 2 days before planting, we'll see if that makes any difference to germination.


Three seeds from the first batch of 10 seeds have sprouted today, its been about a week. Below is the largest sprout.
