Caring For Daylilies

Caring for daylilies is very easy. Once your daylilies arrive, you will want to unpack the daylilies and soak them in a bucket of water for one HOUR, this will insure the roots have plenty of water to start growing. Do not soak too long, this may cause the plants to rot.

If the daylilies are not cut back when they arrive, you will want to cut the foliage back to 6" or less, prior to planting. Plant the daylilies by spreading the roots flat and placing them in a hole 3" to 6” deep. Make sure there is plenty of loose soil below and around the roots. Tamp the ground around the plant down firmly after planting. Water thoroughly.

Space plants no closer than 2 feet apart. Daylilies will multiply very quickly, they generally double or triple in the number of plants each year. Once your daylily is in the ground for 3-5 years it can be divided. Dividing plants is not necessary but it does improve blooming performance. This is accomplished by digging the entire clump up and placing it on its side and splitting individual plants off with a shovel or by hand (soaking the clump in water may help with the splitting up process.)

Although daylilies will perform well in drought conditions, daylilies perform at their best when planted in partial to full sun with plenty of water. A general garden fertilizer works well for daylilies.

Very Important – Water your daylilies during any period of dry weather during the first year (any period of 7 days or more without rain)

As with most perennial plants, daylilies will perform better the second year after planting.

Thank you and enjoy your plants!!
