General Daylily Planting Instructions

Daylilies prefer full sun and well drained, neutral to lightly acidic soil. Some varieties benefit from partial shade. In general, space plants (see chart above for spacing amount) apart. Dig a hole 12" deep and add organic matter. Create a cone of soil in the planting hole and place the daylily on top. Daylily roots are fibrous and need to be spread out when planting. Plant with the crown one inch below the soil surface. Firm the soil and water thoroughly.

Spring and fall are the best planting times. Daylilies require little special care to perform well, but with some extra attention they can be truly spectacular. An early and late season feeding keeps them going strong. Feed twice a year, once in spring prior to blooming and again a few months later during the blooming season. Mulch once in summer to conserve moisture and again in with for protection from freezing. To encourage increased flowering, deadhead to remove spent blossoms that don't drop off on their own. Cut off the scapes at ground level when blooming stops, taking care not to damage the crown.
