Where should I plant daylilies in my garden?
Daylilies flower best when planted in full sun (6 hours/day), on moist, yet well-drained soil. In hot climates, dark-colored cultivars should receive some afternoon shade to help them retain their flower color. When planted in the correct location, daylilies will flower for years with little care.
How do you plant daylilies in a garden?

How do you get daylilies to spread?
Some gardeners have had good luck mowing down daylilies and then smothering them with thick layers of mulch. Apply 4 to 6 inches (10-15 cm.) over the daylily stand, but be prepared to fight with them through the season. Like any perennial weed, the daylilies will continue to try to send new growth up through the mulch.
How can I make my daylilies bloom more?
If the proper growth conditions are being met, one of the best methods to encourage blooms on daylily plants is to divide the plants. Daylilies that have become overcrowded will need to be divided and replanted elsewhere in the garden. In general, daylily plants can be divided any time throughout the growing season.
Will daylilies spread?
Daylilies quickly spread into larger clumps, and eventually they become so crowded that they do not bloom as well. You may want to divide your daylilies every few years, particularly if you notice fewer blooms. ... Plant the divided pieces in soil amended with compost, just as you would plant a potted daylily.
Can I use Miracle Grow on daylilies?
Daylilies are easy to grow and care for, perennial, and drought-tolerant. ... Plant daylilies in full sun. Prepare the soil by adding Miracle-Gro® Garden Soil for Flowers. Plant daylilies in spring or fall when the weather is mild.
How do I keep my daylilies blooming all summer?
All they need are full to part sun and well-drained soil and you're set. Most, though, bloom for about a three-week period in summer and they're done. That's why Grumpy enjoys growing reblooming daylilies like this one. It's called 'Happy Returns,' a very apt description, because it doesn't bloom just once.
How deep do you plant daylilies?
Dig a hole about 12 inches deep and 12-18 inches wide. Form a mound of soil in the bottom of the hole. Position the bare root daylily on the top of the mound so that the crown will end up about one inch below the soil surface when the hole is filled in. Spread the roots out around the mounded soil.
What perennials look good with daylilies?
Choose a combination of spring, summer, and fall flowering perennials and shrubs to have colorful blooms all season. Echinacea, Perovskia, Achillea, Coreopsis, Phlox, Salvia, and Buddleia are wonderful daylily companions and they will bring your garden alive with the flitting of butterflies and hummingbirds.
How quickly do daylilies multiply?
Large clumps of daylilies can be divided easily and this is the preferred method of propagation when you want your plant to have the same size and color as the parent. It also will produce flowers faster. Each plant grows into a clump that will be ready for division about every three or four years.
How do daylilies multiply?
Daylilies multiply by individual plants dividing and by sending up new fans right next to the old fans. If your daylilies have formed a large clump (lots of fans clumped tightly together) and the blooms are smaller or fewer in number than the previous year, you probably need to divide your daylilies.
