With all the unusual warm weather and North Carolina this year my garden is beautifully Lush and green right now daylilies are up tulips are up, Iris ,rose buds are full of leaves now they are calling for snow this weekend which will only last about 2 days should I be concerned. will this hinder my day lily blooms this year if the foliage dies back from the freeze.
When in doubt, cover the plants. Pillow cases, buckets or just sheets can be used to cover the plants. Snow in itself is not likely to harm the plants, but if the temperatures dip, it is more concerning.
Make sure you remove the coverings in the morning when temperatures rise, to avoid over heating and burning the plants.

My own garden has had strange weather and now are back in the very cold, Mother Nature is making be a bit anxious!
My daylilies started shooting up way too early due to unusually warm weather (late Feb & early March) I live in Ocean Pines MD 21811. The were up about 6" & then we temperature dropped to 30 degrees for days in a row. Green leaves are damaged. Should I trim them back to ground or just let them be to recover on their own? Hydrangeas suffered same weather conditions. Branches started budding . When cold weather came back, buds top of branches dead buds, buds on branches lower to ground are still green. Trim off top branches w/ dead buds?
Welcome to gardening where erratic spring weather is becoming the norm. What a challenge! Let your plants recover on their own. If the tips turn brown, you can trim them off at some point. If blossom buds had opened, expect reduced bloom in spring-flowering shrubs and trees. Leaf buds will be replaced by new buds. Delay fertilizing and pulling off winter mulch until your frost-free date even though you see spring growth.
White fluffy fungus had formed on the soil around some of the daylily seedlings I am growing. They have been OUT from under the plastic cover for a couple weeks now, and so open to air. I am surprised to see this. I started them in "Jiffy tomato and Vegetable Greenhouse", which they are still growing in (with the top off). I have been watering them by putting some weak chamomile tea in the bottom of the tray as suggested by the directions I am going by. What can I do to get rid of it, and stop it from forming on the others?
Fungus is everywhere and this type of fungus is not a problem for your plants. It often indicates overwatering or inadequate air circulation, however.
We planted 2 Daylilies about 2 months ago, and the seem to be growing strong, but some of the leaves closest to the ground have been turning yellow and dying. While the other leaves are growing stronger and straight upward, and staying green. Are we doing something wrong ? They are watered daily in the morning before full sun.
Yellowing leaves could indicate a watering issue. Newly planted perennials may need more water.

For the past 2years my daylight has not flowered. It's in a very large pot and we did split the crown into 2 last year but it still has not flowered why?
Are they planted too deep? Daylily plants should be set in the ground so that their crowns (the point at which the foliage and roots join) are about 1 inch under ground. Bulbs should be planted 6 to 8 inches deep.
Are they getting enough sun? Most varieties bloom best in full sun. More sun equals more blooms with daylilies.
Are you fertilizing them? Depending on your soil, a light fertilizer (and plenty of water) will help improve performance.

WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE WHEN MOVING AN ENTIRE BED OF BULBS
The best time to transplant daylilies is in the early spring or early fall, although they will tolerate transplanting at any time of year. Moderate soil temperature helps them become established more quickly. If they are transplanted in early spring they will still bloom that year. Daylilies transplanted in summer may not bloom again until the next year. If transplanted in the fall, they will need at least six weeks before frost to become established.
When do I remove the dead scapes?
You should deadhead the lilies daily. When the plant is done flowering the stalks can be removed.
Allow the foliage to die down naturally.
