Potted Daylilies

 July 2009

Daylilies (Hemerocallis)  are easy to grow, long lasting and one of our most satisfactory landscape flowers. With a little bit of care in the choice of plants, a mixed daylily bed can bloom from June to September and grow so thickly that little weeding is required. Because of their low maintenance and hardiness, daylilies make a great landscape plant. Use them as a ground cover to hold banks, as borders along fences and walks, in container gardens and in decorative beds.  

   We display our daylilies, alphabetically during the summer

Daylilies will grow in any well drained soil, preferring half to full sun.  When choosing a new planting site, remember that daylily flowers “pull” towards the light.  Though daylilies can survive anywhere, soil should be improved prior to planting with organic material such as compost or peat moss, and plenty of manure.  Daylilies planted from pots should be planted at the same soil level as is in the pot.  Gently firm soil around the roots.  Fresh plantings should be well watered.

Spacing of your plants depends on the variety chosen and type of planting desired. Planted on 18" centers they will fill in nicely by the second year, two to three feet is better to develop large established individual clumps.  Daylilies are very drought tolerant, but will have nicer foliage and bloom better if watered occasionally during dry spells.  They can grow in soil that is quite barren, but are very responsive to feeding with a nitrogen source. We plant daylilies in soil that has a lot of fresh manure well worked in, and feed in successive years with a small handful of 10-10-10 applied around each plant two or three times during the growing season and then watering well.  Once the snow has left in the spring, rake off flower beds to remove old leaves, etc., and give an early feeding as soon as fresh tips start to actively grow.  Division of established plants can take place any time from April to early September, though foliage should be cut well back if digging during the summer to reduce stress.

Tetraploid:  Varieties bred with extra chromosomes, generally with larger flowers, more buds and extended blooming season.
