Place the plant in the soil so that the crown, the part where the stem and roots meet, is an inch below the ground level. Water thoroughly after planting. Mulch the daylilies for the winter to help protect them from frost heaving. <~
Vigorous growers, daylilies establish themselves quickly and form a dense mat in a few years. They generally need dividing and replanting every three or four years.
Keep Three Stems
Together When Dividing
To divide a clump of daylilies, lift it carefully from the soil and pull it apart. Make sure each division has at least three stems with all their roots attached. Cut the foliage back to 5 or 6 inches. Then replant.
Literally thousands of daylily varieties have been named and cultivated. Colors range from creamy white through yellow, pink, coral, red and orange to nearly black. Flowering times vary from early to late summer. By selecting varieties carefully you can have daylilies in bloom all summer.
