A daylily is a popular flowering plant. It is part the Hemerocallidoideae (genus Hemerocallis) family. It doesn't look like an lily but gardeners have been selectively breeding different species for over a decade. Whether the flowers bloom during the day or at night, daylilies make an excellent flowering choice for your garden. These flowers also make excellent cut flowers.
Divide daylily plants in the fall. To divide the plant, soak the roots in enough water to wash away most of the soil. After separating the roots, gently tap the root mass with a garden knife. Be sure to check for weed roots before digging. After you have removed the roots of the daylily, plant the clumps in soil. To prevent weeds, mulch the daylily roots after they have been transplanted.
When planting daylilies, prepare the soil. The soil should be loose enough to allow roots to grow as deep as 18 inches. It should be free of any rocks or other debris. If the soil is sandy, compost is a great amendment. It will retain water and lighten heavy clay soil. This will allow roots to develop. Once the roots have established themselves, you can transplant them anywhere you wish.
Daylilies need to be planted at least 12 inches apart in well-drained soil. Depending on the variety you choose, you can use a pot or container. Once the roots have been transplanted, water them regularly until they become established. They will take three to four years for them to flower. Daylilies make a great choice for traders if you are in the business to trade.
Daylilies in Minnesota do well when planted at a suitable time. Daylilies must be deadheaded before they can be planted. If a daylily is in bloom, you can trim the stem and split it between two plants. You should take care when dividing daylily stems. Although it may seem like a tedious task, it is important to ensure that the roots are not damaged.
To plant daylilies, you should use a shovel or dig a hole where the crown of the daylily will be planted. The soil should be level with a crown of flower at ground level. The top of the plant will then be above the soil. Place the tubers in the hole. Divide the roots into small pieces to get the best results. Another option is to make a group of daylilies.
Once the daylilies have been divided into two parts, you can begin to dig them. You should not overdo the planting. You will need to separate the soil into smaller pieces after you have dug it. Separate the roots into two groups. The daylily roots should then be planted one by one, taking care to not damage any roots or smooth the soil.
