How to Grow and Care for Daylilies

The daylily is a timeless gardening favorite. Not only are daylily plants beautiful, they are very easy to take care of. Make sure you clean your daylily beds each spring, fertilize in the early spring, water throughout the season, and mulch in the late fall. In this video, we provide an example of how to clean up the dead foliage around your plant. Simply pull away the dead stocks by hand or with a rake. Make sure you fertilize your daylilies once a year, in the early spring. Pick a fertilizer that is high in phosphates. Daylilies are drought tolerant, but it is good to water them at least once a week.
