Most will flower for several weeks. The uses for daylilies are virtually limitless. They look great as a background planting behind lower growing annuals and perennials or set in front of tall shrubbery or fences. Try planting them as an edging along walks or in masses where they'll provide a colorful display between the spring and late summer flowers. They also work well in a naturalized setting around streams and ponds or on slopes where the strong root systems will help hold the soil in place.
Miniature varieties are available for pots and planters.
Dividing Daylilies Dividing large clumps of daylilies is an easy way to add quantity to the garden. Trading and sharing daylily divisions with friends and relatives is a great way to add variety to your collection. Clumps can be divided every four to six years by separating the plant into rooted segments, each with about 3 shoots. This division is referred to as a fan. Because the root system is so vigorous you may need an ax to separate the pieces.
