The Best Time to Plant Day Lili Plants

For daylilies that are looking good, fertilize in the early spring. To remove any spent flowers, you should deadhead them every other week. Your daylilies will be able to produce seed pods by being deadheaded. Deadheading also encourages more flowers to form and extend the flowering season. The base of the plant should be removed from any brown leaves or damaged areas. After the blooms have finished, you can either place them in your compost pile or throw them out.

Plant daylilies from seed or buy them from a dealer. If you notice that your plants are becoming too crowded, you can try division to revive their flowering. When daylilies flower, they produce a large number of flowers, known as "scapes." These stems are a few dozen flowers and grow up from the centre of the plant. To divide your daylilies, just shake the clumps together 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 be removed using insecticidal shampoo.

Midseason daylilies range in time from mid-May at the coast to late July in the mountains. Extra-early blooming daylilies usually appear a few days before mid-season peak. The blooms of the midseason daylilies occur about three to six weeks later than those in the middle season. The last daylilies will bloom in the fall or late summer. Rebloomers are a great way to ensure your daylilies continue to bloom throughout the year.

Miniature daylilies are also available. These plants can only grow 12 to 24 inches tall and produce small flowers. These plants look fantastic in containers and can also be used for direct planting or borders. You can make the most out of daylilies by combining them with perennials and flowering shrubs. A butterfly bush can look great among your daylilies. For best results, the soil should be well-drained.

Double daylilies come with 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 can also have the hose-in hose effect. Miniature daylilies have a width of less than 3 inches, while larger daylilies can reach up to four and a half inches. While the height of these plants' scapes varies, all grow at one time.
