After Daylilies are done blooming, can they be cut back.? How far?
Cut the bloom stems back but not the foliage. Do you cut off daffodil leaves before they turn yellow? The plant is rebuilding the its strength for the winter. I think it would look odd - all spikey instead of a graceful arch but that is an esthetic - no right or wrong on that point. The plant continues to make leaves so you'll be trimming until frost. You won't kill it if you cut it back, say by half, but will it bloom as well next year? I often run little "experiments" like this. Take notes in case you forget, like me, what you've done.
Should I cut off the long stem when they are done blooming
When should I dig and replant daylily bulbs?
These are very hardy and will survive just about anything. I recommend digging up in winter after the growth has died, and then planting in early spring. Here is a collection of articles that will tell you everything you need to know bout these plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/bulbs/daylily/
There are day lilies around my yard that were here when I bought my home. For the past couple of years a few "clumps" that used to bloom (many flowers) have not bloomed at all. is there anything I can do to "revive" them ? Thanks
Yes, you can revive them!. They need regular division to keep them young and bloomful. (I just made up that word, sorry) You can do this yet this fall or early next spring. Dig up the entire clump, pull of some of the outside sections and replant them while adding compost to the soil. Toss out the center of the plant; it is old and tired. If they are the reblooming type of daylily, give them some fertilizer after the first bloom.
I will be moving to Tumwater WA in March or April and would like to bring some day lilies, a small year old hydrangea and hostas with me. My hostas are in pots already but the hydrangea and lilies are not. How should I prep them to move and when? Should I bring them inside this winter? Thankyou joy cruz Joy-cruz@att.net or 423-650-3302
You should also place your Hydrangea in a pot and you can dig up the Daylilies and place the bulbs in containers.
Place them in a cold area with cold and constant temperatures.
A garage or shed will work.
I would not bring the plants indoors.
I just bought daylily bulbs from Costco and as they were starting to have nice green shoots on them (about 4" tall) - I thought I'd better get them out of the bag and into a pot until I decided where to ultimately plant them in the ground. I potted up all the tubers and put them outside in the pots, and then we were hit by a very cold spell, not freezing but down into the mid to upper 30's. After that the leaves have turned from green to almost light green/whitish (like celery after it turns limp) - have I killed them or will they recover? What should I do now? Thanks for any advice!
They will recover if they weren't bone dry when the cold hit. Daylilies are tough plants!
If I plant new Daylillies in the Spring, will they come up and bloom in the Summer the same year?
Yes, you should see blooms the first season.
