I'm putting this in the main thread because it is not a swap.
My E. robustus is just finishing flowering for this year and I should have some spare seed in a few weeks. This is the tallest of the foxtail lilies growing a flower spike of up to 3 metres (10 feet in old money) but if you didn't know that you will not want seed as it is not for beginners and can be a pig to propagate.
Even the advice on various sites is contradictory some people saying sow in spring, some experts say sow fresh, same advise cold stratification for up to 3 months others say no. So if you want some you are on your own. I would advise propagator (one month) then stratification (3 months) and then propagator until they show but am not sure myself. The only ones I have got to germinate were hit and miss.
If you want to try some though then PM me.
