Day Lily Plants: When is the Best Time?

For daylilies that are looking good, fertilize in the early spring. Deadheading is also important to ensure that they are free from any dying flowers. Your daylilies can also be encouraged to deadhead regularly so that they can produce seed pods. Deadheading also encourages more flowers to form and extend the flowering season. Remove any brown or damaged leaves and other parts from the plant's base. Once the blooms have dried, you can either put the daylilies in a compost pile or just throw them away.

Plant daylilies from seed or buy them from a dealer. You can divide your plants if they become overcrowded. Daylilies produce many flowers when they bloom, which is why they are known as "scapes". These stems grow upward from the center of the plant and produce several dozen flowers. Simply shake the clumps to divide daylilies and then work the roots.

Daylilies are hardy perennials and can withstand pests. Aureobasidium microstictum, a fungus that causes leaf streaks, is a common cosmetic problem. Infected leaves should be removed from daylilies immediately. Dead leaves should also be removed every fall. Insecticidal soap is another way to get rid of aphids.

Midseason daylilies can range from mid-May on the coast to late June in the mountains. The extra-early blooming daylilies are often a few weeks before mid-season peak. The mid-season daylilies bloom three to five week later than the regular season. The last daylilies are in bloom in late summer or early autumn. Rebloomers are a great way to ensure your daylilies continue to bloom throughout the year.

Aside from the early blooming daylilies, you can also try planting miniature types in your yard. The plants only grow 12 to 25 inches high, and have small flowers. They look wonderful in containers and are great for borders or direct planting. You can make the most out of daylilies by combining them with perennials and flowering shrubs. A butterfly bush will look beautiful among your daylilies. The soil should be well-drained to get the best results.

Double daylilies are composed of more than six segments. These extra segments can either be seen in the center of a flower or as two blooms within one. These beautiful flowers may also exhibit the hoses-in effect. Miniature daylilies have a width of less than 3 inches, while larger daylilies can reach up to four and a half inches. Although the scapes of these plants are different in height, they all grow at once.
