Tips for Growing Daylilies – How to Divide and Plant Daylilies
Daylilies will grow for many years just fine without being divided. After about 4 or 5 years when the plants are getting big enough, you may want to consider dividing your daylily. Sometimes if the plants become overgrown, they will bloom less.
The best time to divide daylilies is early spring when they first come out of the ground, or late summer/early fall after their flowering cycle to be completed. The best way to divide daylilies is to dig up the entire clump. I love this garden fork for digging up daylilies. I have less damage to the clumps when I use it over a shovel. Then cut through the crown of the plant with a sharp knife, or pull the clump apart into manageable pieces. Before replanting, cut the foliage back to a height of 5 or 6″. And, now you have new plants to divide or replant in your gardens. If you need more help dividing and transplanting your daylilies, see Tips for Planting Annuals.
Reblooming Lilies
Some daylilies are known for their ability to rebloom. This is a genetic trait.
Rebloom daylilies will have an extended bloom period as they continue to produce spikes and flower buds throughout the growing season.
How to Plant Daylily Seeds
Plant the daylily seeds as soon as you see the white tail form from the daylily seed, this is a sign that the daylily seed has germinated the seed can be plant in ¼ inch deep in a small pot using a seedling mix or seed raising, use a pen or pencil to make a small hole in the soil and place the sprouted seed and the return net. Some flower growers sow the seeds when a few seeds have started to germinate and others wait until all seeds have germinated but whatever you decide, make sure to keep the soil moist and not waterlogged aside from this the soil should only be watered from the bottom. The seed can still rot at this stage, however you can use your favorite fungicide or a very dilute hydrogen peroxide solution diluted with 1 teaspoon of H2O2 to a cup of water, which will help moisten the prevention, in other words. , stop the lily seeds from rotting. At this stage, the pots should be kept out of direct hot sun but you must be sure that the seedlings are getting at least filtered sunlight.
Use a liquid fertilizer on the seedlings when they reach about 2 to 3 inches in height. The fertilizer should be used at half the normal strength and should be applied at least weekly while they are in pots.
