The Best Time To Plant Day Lily Plants

For daylilies that are looking good, fertilize in the early spring. Deadheading them is a good idea to get rid of any dead flowers. Your daylilies will be able to produce seed pods by being deadheaded. Deadheading will encourage more flower formation and extend the flowering period. Also, remove any damaged or brown leaves from the base of your plant. After the blooms have finished, you can either place them in your compost pile or throw them out.

Daylilies can be grown from seeds or purchased from a dealer. If your plants are starting to get crowded, division can revitalize their flowering. Daylily flowers can produce large numbers of flowers called "scapes" when they flower. These stems grow upward from the center of the plant and produce several dozen flowers. To divide your daylilies, simply shake the clumps and work the roots.

Daylilies are hardy perennials and can withstand pests. Aureobasidium micrtictum is the fungus responsible for leaf streaks. When infected, remove infected leaves from your daylilies and remove dead leaves every fall. Aphids can also easily be treated with insecticidal detergent.

Midseason daylilies may bloom anywhere from mid May on the coast to the mountains in June. Extra-early-blooming daylilies often bloom a few weeks earlier than the mid-season peak. The bloom of the mid-season daylilies is approximately three to five weeks earlier than that of the mid-season flower. Late summer and early fall are when the last daylilies flower. Rebloomers can be planted to keep your daylilies in bloom throughout the entire season.

In your yard you may also want to plant miniature daylilies. These plants can only grow 12 to 24 inches tall and produce small flowers. They are beautiful in containers and make great borders. Combining daylilies with perennials or flowering shrubs will maximize their potential. A butterfly bush can look great among your daylilies. For best results, the soil should be well-drained.

Double daylilies are composed of more than six segments. The extra segments can be spotted in the center of the flower or as two blooms in one. These beautiful flowers may also exhibit the hoses-in effect. Miniature daylilies range in size from 3 to 3 inches. Smaller daylilies are smaller at three inches. Large daylilies grow up to four-and a-half inches. They all grow at the exact same time, although their scapes are different in height.
