The Best Time to Plant Day Lily Plants
To keep your daylilies looking great, fertilize in early spring. Deadheading is also important to ensure that they are free from any dying flowers. Your daylilies will be able to produce seed pods by being deadheaded. Deadheading can also help increase flower production and extend the blooming season. Remove any brown or damaged leaves and other parts from the plant's base. You can then either dispose of the daylilies or place them in your compost pile after the blooms are done.
You can either buy daylilies directly from the seed store or purchase them from a dealer. Dividing can rejuvenate your flowering if your plants become too crowded. Daylily flowers produce many flowers. These are called "scapes". These stems rise from the center of the plant to produce several dozen flowers. To divide your daylilies, just shake the clumps together and work the roots.
Daylilies, although they are strong and long-lasting perennials can still be damaged by pests. Aureobasidiummicrostictum, which is a fungus that causes leaf spots, can be a serious cosmetic problem. When infected, remove infected leaves from your daylilies and remove dead leaves every fall. Another way to eliminate aphids is with insecticidal soap.
Midseason daylilies range in time from mid-May at the coast to late July in the mountains. The extra-early blossoming daylilies can bloom up to a week before the peak season. The mid-season daylilies are about three to five weeks later than the mid-season bloom. The last daylilies will bloom in the fall or late summer. Planting rebloomers will ensure that your daylilies bloom all season.
In your yard you may also want to plant miniature daylilies. They are tiny and can grow to 12-25 inches in height. They look wonderful in containers and are great for borders or direct planting. To make the most of your daylilies, combine them with other flowering shrubs or perennials. Beautiful daylilies can be complemented by a butterfly bush. To get the best results, soil conditions must be well-drained.
Double daylilies have more than six segments. You can find the extra segments in the middle of the flower, or in two separate blooms. These beautiful flowers can also have the hose-in hose 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. These plants grow at the same rate, despite having different scapes.
