Growing Daylilies is gaining in popularity and are grown just about everywhere in the U.S. as well as around the world. Different varieties can be found in a wide range of colors to choose from.

Daylilies are propagated by their roots. Separate the large roots re-plant them four to six inches deep in the spring. Add compost into the soil before planting and mix in a general-purpose fertilizer. Simply plant the root and watch it grow. Mulch around the plant to keep the weeds down. The appearance of your lilies is enhanced by a weedless surrounding.
Tip: Try a low ground cover like white Alyssum around the lilies.
