Tracy, your garden looks terrific. I have 28 varieties of Daylilies. The only one that re-blooms reliably with new scapes is Romantic Returns (if you are looking for a colour that is not yellow). There are already new scapes appearing while the current scapes are blooming profusely. I snap off the dead blooms every morning as they are mostly large flowered Daylilies and the plants look bad if I don't keep up. 😊
I like to go out every evening and clean up the old Lily blooms too. A tidy garden makes me feel 🥰 . I would love to have more garden space to plant more lily varieties. 🙏 Wow…your garden must be beautiful right now with 28+ varieties. 🤩
@@TracysHomeGarden I plant them amongst shrubs and perennials but have several areas where I have all the same kind - Romantic Returns and Purple D'Oro which makes way more than 28 plants. Dare I say I'm a collector. Haha. I have run out of space so can't go any further without removing some other plants. I would say you are a Hydrangea collector which is a worthy task!
I just found your channel and subscribed. You present such a detailed explanation on dead heading and this will be very helpful to me. I had no clue how to care for my Day Lillie’s. Thank you so much.
Hi Tracy, your garden is always a pleasure to see, thank you for sharing! A question -- how do you keep your daylily foliage from getting ratty? Yours look fresh and beautiful. Any secret? This time of the season mine all goes through a ratty phase and sometimes I just have to cut it back.
Beautiful garden! Hi tracy hope you can help me, i do have some lilies i believe they were tiger lilies but there some kinda slug that eating it, how can you get rid of those pesty slug. Please help
There is a powder you can buy for slugs and snails 🐌. I have seen it but have never used it in the garden. You can go to a garden nursery and ask about it and they can show you how to use it. This year my lilies get eaten by the red beetles 🪲 and I’m thinking of using a beneficial nematodes on the lawn and garden to help control their population this year. I haven’t done this in a few years so I have noticed the red beetles are more prominent this year than previous years. Hopefully you will find a solution to help the lilies. 💚
@@TracysHomeGarden thank you tracy! I do that bettle too buit only eat the leave but that slug is been eating even the flowers. Thank you again! I do appreciate it. 🙂
Hi Tracy. Your Stella De’oro Daylillies are stunning. Mine don’t bloom that profusely despite fertilizing. Not sure why? I deadhead regularly midsummer. Maybe it’s not getting full Sun…
No, Tracy...deadhead every morning so that it looks good every day. Stalks are called scapes. A very nice one that reblooms is Krakatoa Lava (a beautiful on fire orange). New scapes coming as the first ones leaving. Love your garden though!
Wish I had the problem of how to care for lilies, day lilies or otherwise. Have removed almost every last one because of deer. They like them as much as I do.
It depends on - it’s can be a sign of too much or too little water, or uneven watering, or could be due to “stress”, etc. I usually get this around the time when the blooms start to open up. At this time in their blooming cycle, the plant usually concentrates on putting out blooms and has to sacrifice the some lower leaves turning yellow. As long as the plant doesn’t end up loosing ALL the leaves then it should be okay. A few lower yellow leaves to help keep the blooms fresh and nice is ok for the plant.
I’m so sorry to hear that…it is very frustrating to loose all your hard work to them. We live right next to a provincial park and have both - deers and bunnies. We have our back yard fenced in and all gates blocked so that tend to deter them. Bunnies like to eat the new growth on my clematis.
Hi Tracy, Thanks for some tips on how to deadhead Daylilies. Your garden looking so beautiful
Great tutorial…just what I wanted to know, and have now done the same with my Daylilies…thanks so much!!
Your videos are so educational. I always learn something. Please video your whole backyard this year.
They are looking fantastic Tracy 🍃🌸🍃
Deadheading the spent blooms really made a big difference on the daylilies. The garden looks beautiful and well cared for.🪴💚

Your garden is gorgeous! Do you fertilize your lilies? And with what?

I'm constantly pulling the and cutting back the dead foliage and deadhead the old blooms to keep them looking good. :-)

Scapes = stalks 💚💚💚

Why do many of my plants have the dry dead leaves at the bottom? Is that over or under watering? Thank you!

Gorgeous. You obviously don't have deer or bunnies.😢
