There are two basic types of lily seed germination: epigeal and hypogeal. Epigeal is usually rapid, and the cotyledons rise above ground, followed by true leaves. In hypogeal germination, the seed first produces a tiny bulb and nothing above ground the first season. A cold treatment is needed before leaves will grow above ground.
These two forms of germination are subdivided into immediate and delayed germination. Most epigeal(E) germinators are immediate(I). Most hypogeal(H) germinating species are delayed(D).
