Daylilies are one of my favorite perennial bulbs. I have several patches of them. The flowers are showing and dramatic and always bring a smile to my face. They are also easy to grow and get better and better each season as the clump grows larger!
You can just plant them, and forget them but they will grow best if you remember these tips:
Daylilies love aun and prefer full sun but will also grow in part shade conditions.
Bury the crown about a half inch below the surface of the soil and space them 10-12 inches apart..
Be sure your soil drains well.
Water well. This is the most important thing about caring for daylilies. Water helps to ensure that you get as many blooms and as large blooms as possible.
Mulch around the plants. This will help to retain the water and will eventually add to the soil composition.
