CambridgeshireQ.What Is This Tubed Plant?
We’ve just bought a house and there were bulbs rammed everywhere in the garden. They must’ve been there for years. My partner split this as it was growing into the path, but it was so knitted together it all came up. Any ideas what it is? I’d like to slowly split and replant where possible.

Certified ExpertA.You can tidy them up by removing the spent scapes and dead or diseased foliage, but cutting all the leaves to the ground should be postponed till fall or spring. Ideally, cut it back after the first freeze.

I planted about 50 daylilies for the first time this spring. One of them looks completely different from all the others now. I have a picture and would like to know if there is something wrong with this plant, or if it is normal. Many thanks!

Certified ExpertA.That is not a daylily but the dreaded yellow nutsedge. I would dig up all around it and make sure you get it all before it drops that seed.

Certified ExpertA.You can trim them back in late fall, then mulch. They should be fine in the ground over winter.

October 24, 2020Q.Clay Soil
My ground is clay. I needed to transplant some daylilies. I dug the holes about 10" deep and wide. The ground was solid clay. I filled the holes with potting soil and the daylilies. I'm now questioning if they will make it in that soil. Please let me know if they should survive in the clay. Thank you.

Certified ExpertA.They probably will but the roots may stay within the potting soil and go no further. It is better to work some compost or other soil amendments into the ground and then plant. Here is how:
