Is there anything I can do with my daylilies damaged by dog urine? They are Stella De Oro and they still come back and bloom every year, but the damaged part don’t grow back.
You may have to dig up and remove the dead parts of the plant. You will want to do this now or wait until after they have finished blooming for this season.

I live in the country and have 30 acres. We mow two acres. Would I regret it if I plant wild orange daylilies to brighten up an area in my front yard?
There are plenty of daylilies that are much prettier and aren't as invasive as the orange daylilies. They run like wildfire and are hard to remove if you ever decide to eradicate them.

This only has a handful of causes. Usually, overcrowding. This article will help:

Some years ago my mother gave me a start of "old fashioned" single day lilies that came from my great grandmother. Over the years, they've become crowded and probably need to be thinned. When is the best time of year to do this? Any pointers?
Here is a how-to guide for transplanting daylilies. Fortunately, they are very forgiving plants and will reliably return after thinning.

Transplanting daylilies is easy. If your plants are just starting to emerge, you can dig and divide them now. Use a shovel to lift the entire clump. It's fine if it doesn't come up in one mass. Divide by simply pulling the sections apart. (if you find this impossible, divide using a spade) Take the opportunity to mix compost into the soil then replant the tubers.

My day lilies were about 6 inches tall and then we got 8 inches of snow, they look almost transparent and bent over, they appear to have gotten frozen. Do I cut them off and start over or will they survive and bloom. I should know this because this is spring in South Dakota!! Thanks!! Kathy
They are quite adapted to this. Daylilies have the tendency to become invasive over time, so anything that can help impede that is, actually, a good thing!
Don't worry. They will come back. Cut off anything that is too dead to continue. Some of the growth will return to normal, but some ill need to be trimmed. When in doubt, cut it back completely. It won't hurt them!
