A daylily belongs to the genus Hemerocallis and is a flowering shrub. This plant belongs in the Asphodelaceae family, subfamily Hemerocallidoideae. It is in the same family as lilies. Daylilies aren't true lilies. Gardeners have been cultivating daylilies for many years. Here are some of our most loved varieties.
First, find a location that has a well-drained soil. Dig a hole 18 inches deep. Use a soil-loosening fertiliser labeled to be used for perennials. Once the daylily is in its new location, you can add some soil to raise it. The plant will be ready for next season once it has been lifted from the ground. You can then plant it. The crown of your plant should be at least one inch above the soil.
Daylilies can then be pruned after they have flowered. When pruning, only cut the foliage that extends six to eight inches from the ground. The roots of the daylily should be just above the soil surface. Mulch the daylily plants to protect them from disease. Take out any yellowing flowers or insects damaged flowers. Keep the plants looking beautiful by cutting them to the crown if you want them to look great.
The fall is the best time to divide daylilies. After soaking the roots of the plants in water, let them sit for around 15 minutes before you start to divide them. This will help you get rid of most of the soil, and makes it easier to divide them. While digging, be sure to check the root mass for any weed roots. This will assist you in removing the decaying and dead daylilies. It is not unusual for daylilies grow in containers located in the middle garden.
To propagate daylilies, dig a hole with a diameter of two feet and a diameter of one foot. Once the daylily plants are a little bigger, you can start moving them farther apart. The daylilies will bloom in the spring following planting. You can also begin the process in fall if you don’t want the wait to spring. Ensure that you loosen the soil so that they won't dry out.
Daylily plants will grow in many soil types. The best way to get the best results is to plant the daylily seeds when they're ready. Depending on the climate you live in, you may be able to divide the plants after the flowers have stopped. This will ensure a consistent supply for a prolonged period. For fresher daylilies that are more beautiful and vibrant, you can divide your plants in the middle of the growing season.
To stop daylilies growing too large, it's important to remove clumps. They can also replanted by being divided. This will make them too big to grow in a yard. If this happens, you can separate them and plant them in different locations. They will all grow more quickly in a different spot. Make sure to divide them correctly.
