I always go to your videos when I need some tips. You really have done a great job sharing important info! Thank you! Also I might add, you have inspired me with a new passion and hobby that brings joy to me! I was introduced to daylilies and all their beauty by receiving one of your catalogs 3 yrs ago. I bought my first couple of daylilies through you, and could not ever imagine life without a daylily garden after that! Your lilies are beautiful, colorful and look better and better with each year! Thank you!!
Wow Suzy, thank you! We love daylilies and want others to see just what great plants they are and how easy they are to grow. To do that, we've been trying really hard to make videos that are informative and fun. Your sweet comment really means a lot to us. We have several more videos in the works, but if there's something you'd like to know in particular, please let us know and we'll make a video about it!
That’s a great video and advice! My new yard guy mowed down all 8 of my various daylilies! I pointed them out his first visit but he “ forgot” and I wasn’t home at the time.😢Is all lost forever? They were all short evergreens. I’m new at this and just gutted!
Deer eat the blossoms right off mine. So sorry yours are squashed. Would you consider putting up chicken wire? Or putting some 4 foot or taller stakes in the bed so it won't be so comfy?
I've learned so much from your videos and really enjoy them. My question is: I love it when all of my daylilies are blooming, but toward the end of summer their foliage starts to look brown and nasty. It kind of detracts from the garden. Can you cut the foliage down and remove the brown leaves or what should you do. I really appreciate your help!!!
Hi Susan. Thanks for your kind words about our videos. We're having a lot of fun with them! We aren't crazy about end of season foliage either. We generally trim ours to clean it up. If you decide to do so, be sure to leave about 4"-6" so it won't hurt the plant.
My day lilies are not looking good. Just came up on your videos in my search for help...I am in the Northeast, have sandy soil, they are in full sun. I have had them for about 5 yrs...They never have really green foliage, more light green with brown streaks and spots and not a whole lot of blooms😢
Hi! Without seeing your daylilies, it sounds like they could benefit from a good fertilizer and soil amendment. Daylilies love nitrogen, so a good fertilizer that is high in nitrogen would be a fine place to start. In the fall, you could work some manure or compost into your sandy soil to supply added nutrients. We're betting the healthier soil will improve the streaks you see on your foliage. If the plant is really large, it may be time to divide. (Five years is usually average.) You could add the soil amendments when you divide. Don't divide now! You'll want to get your dividing and planting done about a month before your first expected frost date.

@@OakesDaylilies Thank you so much!!! I certainly will have a question or two, with hopes of a video tip! I’m glad your planning on future videos!
Thats flippen awesome!!!
Very nice video, Ken, thanks!
Thanks Rhonda!
I really enjoy your helpful videos, and your daylilies are excellent. Thank you!

One of the great things about daylilies is how hardy they are. Keep them watered well and they should bounce back in time to bloom next season.
I'd be ready to do murder! So sorry this happened to you. Hope they come back vigorously next year.
Deer have been sleeping in my day lilly bed. Squashed! 🤷

If they have died to the ground, they probably won't come back.
