Just found your channel. Ill check out your plant offerings soon. A friend was gifted some divided ones, planted, watered well, deer got in, ate the flowers & pulled them up!! (replanted & hoping for the best).
@@joycemaine1728 Yes! You could plant them now. We typically suggest you plant them at least a month before your first hard freeze. If you planted now, they would definitely have enough time to get established before your cold weather hits.
We typically divide our daylilies in late summer/early autumn. We like to do it when they're past their bloom season and it's a bit cooler out. It's less stressful on the plant. Here's a link to one of our videos that gets into detail about dividing: ruclips.net/video/UZApXh_a7sk/видео.html
I’m wanting to plant something in front of my Ditch Lillie’s. Would it be to plant Lillie’s that have different leaves & blooms or will they spread into each other & look messy? Perhaps daffodils or sage?? Also, I have chickens & cats & dogs that could eat fertilizer so can I put by roots instead of on top? If I cover w/ mulch the chickens still peck around.
If you choose to plant something in front of your ditch lilies we wouldn't suggest daylilies because the ditch lilies will, over time, creep into and overtake them. In fact, that will probably happen no matter what you choose to plant there simply because of the nature of ditch lilies. If you choose to plant sage or daffodils or another type of perennial, keep in mind that you'll have to prune the ditch lilies back or replace the perennials at some point. As for chickens, that's a tough one. We sell fertilizer tabs that are to be placed in the hole near the roots when planting daylilies. Those would probably be safe but you should probably check with a veterinarian or at your local co-op to be sure.
The best time to divide daylilies is after they bloom. Doing so before they bloom could impact their bloom for that season. Here in East Tennessee, we prefer to divide in fall because a) it's after bloom season and b) it's not so hot. If you choose to divide your plants in fall, make sure you do so at least a month or more before your first hard freeze.
Great Video. I'm in Illinois zone 5B. It 's July 21st and my day lilies are blooming. Will probably be done in a couple of weeks. Can I divide them once they finish blooming, let's say mid August? Not sure if the lilies need stored energy like daffodils as an example. I have a lot of dividing to do so am hoping I don't need to wait till fall. Thank you!
I understand your concern, but they aren't like daffodils; you should be okay to divide once they've finished blooming. Keep in mind, though, that it's still hot in mid-August. They will need plenty of water after you've divided them-- especially if it's super hot where you are. Just something to consider.
@@OakesDaylilies Thank you for getting back to me. It can get pretty hot here in August. I will wait as long as I can and try to get the lilies divided after we've had a good rainfall, something that has been a rarity in my area over the last three to four years.
I'm new in all of this. Can you please tell me how often The lilies need to be divided. I divided one clump 2 years ago and transplanted somewhere else but the ones that I transplanted never bloomed. What have I done wrong? I know they need full sun but can they survive with about four hours of sun per day? Also, can they survive if planted in pots? Thank you for your help. 🌾
There's no one size fits all rule when it comes to dividing daylilies. You'll know it's time to divide them when they get too big and/or stop blooming like they used to. As far as sun goes, they need about 6-8 hours of sun a day. If yours aren't receiving that, it might explain why they haven't bloomed since you transplanted them. It also can take different varieties of daylilies different periods of time before they start blooming after dividing.

@@OakesDaylilies Thank you for your reply. I watched your video about potting lilies and I found it very interesting. When spring time approaches, I think I will put mine in pots. That way I'll be able to move them where they will have more sun exposure. I'm in the learning stage and experimenting will be good for me to learn. When I lose plant I get very sad so, I better practice before I lose everything. Thanks as million for your kindness. 🌞
@@OakesDaylilies Are you by any chance familiar with Saint Anthony Lilies? I have been looking for those lilies for years but no one seems to carry them.
The best time to transplant daylilies is in the spring and the fall. We'll be shooting a video on that topic within the next few weeks so keep an eye out! If you ever need quick answers to daylily questions, give us a call at 800-532-9545. We love to talk about daylilies!
Great question! Most varieties bloom from 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the variety. Those that rebloom can have an additional bloom period-or periods-that may be about the same length. Typically, daylilies don't have as many blooms on rebloom as they do in their initial bloom.
We think the best time to divide is in the fall because it gives your newly divided daylilies time to get established before summer. Spring is also a good time, but if you do it too late in the season it can affect summer bloom. If you divide in the fall, you'll need to get it done about a month before your first projected hard freeze.
Hi! Those are called proliferations. Not every daylily creates those, so consider yourself lucky! If you're interested, we made a video all about it: ruclips.net/video/kOf56X57XEQ/видео.htmlsi=3Fkg6lzGH_WOp5Dm
Sounds beautiful, but you'll probably need to choose another plant. Daylilies can survive for a while in wet soil (like a flooding situation) but won't in an area that is consistently wet like what you are describing.
All of your videos are geat! I would love to see you water them in well. That phrase means different things to different people. My guess would have been 1-2 gallons of water per plant, because your soil looked fairly dry. If you can explain it better, I'm all ears. Thanks.
That's a great suggestion! We can definitely do a video about water and what we mean when we talk about it. One of the great things about daylilies is that they don't need a lot of water-- they are fairly drought tolerant when established-- but they like a nice long drink of water (1"-2")
Thanks for the question, Paul. We feel that they are priced well compared to what you receive. We send larger plants than most places and we always send at least 3 fans or more per plant. We also price them according to availabilty. If we have less of a variety, they may be higher in price. If we have a lot of a particular daylily, it may be priced a bit lower. We have several gorgeous daylilies in our under $15 category: oakesdaylilies.com/shop/?orderby=popularity&filter_filter-category=under-15
The best time to divide and replant is after the growing season. We suggest you get it done before your first predicted hard freeze. Here's a link to another video that may be more helpful re: dividing and transplanting: ruclips.net/video/UZApXh_a7sk/видео.htmlsi=Qd7x-4SXrn590XeB
