Is it possible for wild orange roadside daylilies to somehow turn my hybrid bi-color daylilies to orange , I swear the bi color daylilies I planted in past years are now orange. less and less bi-colors and more and more orange, I have never planted a orange daylily and now my yard is full of them Dan D
When my Daylilly has no more blossoms should I cut that stem back to the ground? The leaves have turned brown due to extreme hot weather here in Northern CA. Should I cut the leaves back also? Thank you.
You can deadhead the flower stems back to the base of the plant.
Though it would clean up the garden to remove the stems, it's best to let them die back naturally. Continue to water, to prevent them drying up to quickly.
I have some stele d'orem that haven't bloomed the last two years. what do I have to do to make make them bloom? I've added fertilizer separated some and they still won't bloom thank you and please forgive the spelling. Virg
It may be excess nitrogen in the soil from over fertilizing.
You can use a phosphorous addition, such as Bone Meal to promote flowering.

Where is the best place to pluck/deadhead the daylily after they curl up
Deadhead at the base of the flower. They can be gently snapped off or a small garden scissors used.
My day Lillie's get hard ball type green things after the flowers bloom they are not buds they eventually turn black like they are rotting they are full of them they're on a long stem like the flowers
These are seed heads. You want to remove them. Cut the stem down to the base of the plant. When you new flowers become spent remove them. When the cluster of flowers is finished cut the stem off at the base. This will help encourage the plant to form new stems and flowers. By leaving the seed heads on the plant spends energy on developing mature seeds instead of reblooming.
It is early July here. How often do I water my day lilies please?
This will depend on your weather and temperatures.
Daylilies benefit more from deep watering, which reaches 8 to 10 inches into the soil, than from a succession of brief, surface waterings.
We live in Zone 6b. The year we planted the miniature daylilies they bloomed fine. No blooms since then and they are in the 3rd year. They get 6+ hours of sun and daily water via a drip system. Fertilizer was used this late spring in early June, since our temperatures were cool. They seem to be growing fine just no flowers. What can we do to get them to bloom? Bone Meal?
A soil test would tell you if you have excess nitrogen in the soil. Bone Meal is a good way to boost phosphorous; which should promote flowering.
Also after flowering it is a good idea to remove any seed pods that form. Leaving them on the plant can retard next years blooms.
