Planting and Caring for Daylilies


Article below posted August 2008:

Here are care instructions when planting and caring for Daylilies.

  1. Buy the Daylily in person as a best choice or as a second choice have it shipped bare root to you.
  2. If it is bare root, soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. If you bought it in person and it has soil on the roots, water it.
  3. Choose a sunny location with no less than one third of a day of sun.
  4. Dig a hole two by two feet. Place either good rich soil in the hole or manure.
  5. If the Daylily has dirt already on the roots, leave enough room in the hole for the root ball. Place the plant in the hole.  If it does not have dirt on the roots, make a 3×3 inch mound in the bottom of the hole. Spread the roots out over the mound.
  6. Cover the plan with soil and gently pack down. The spot where the roots join the fans (growth) should be at the top of the soil level.
  7. Water the plant.
  8. Every week, fertilize with an evenly balanced fertilizer. Water a couple of other times during the week with fresh water.
