How to grow bush lily from a seed

As long as the bush lily is pollinated successfully during the flowering period, it will bear small fruits at the end of the flowering period. After a few months of growth and development, the seeds will turn purplish red, and then the seeds will be mature. Some people might just cut it off and throw it away, which is a shame, because we can use the seed of the bush lily to grow more young bush lily.
