DAYLILIES 
CULTURE OF DAYLILIES 
TIME TO PLANT. Daylilies may be 
planted during the spring, summer and 
fall. Local conditions will govern the 
best time for planting, which should be 
done at a time when the plants will be 
able to establish themselves and begin 
prompt growth. Fall planting should 
be early enough to permit the plants to 
become well established before cold 
weather. Daylily roots are packed damp 
and should not be allowed to dry out. 
SOILS AND CULTIVATION. Almost 
any garden soil is suitable for daylilies. 
They will thrive in dry areas or in damp 
locations, among rocks, and in rich or 
poor soil. Too much shade may pro- 
duce weak scapes or stems. Light culti- 
vation to keep down weeds is all that is 
necessary. Deep cultivation too near the 
plants may injure the roots. Dead scapes 
should be removed after blooming. Dead 
leaves serve as a mulch throughout the 
winter and should be removed in the 
spring. 
PLANTING. In planting spread the 
roots naturally and cover about two 
inches with pulverized soil. The exact 
depth will depend on the size and type 
of the plant, but it is usually easy to 
tell from the color of the leaves the 
depth at which the plant has been grow- 
ing. Too deep planting is injurious. 
Firm the soil so that roots and crown 
are in good contact with the soil. Water 
after planting if the ground is dry. 
DISEASES AND INSECT PESTS. Pests 
and diesaeses of a serious nature have 
rever been reported for daylilies. Light 
attacks of leaf spot are sometimes ob- 
served and rarely plants may be attack- 
ed by thrips, but these infestations 
cause little damage. Daylilies are sur- 
passed by no other garden plant in free- 
dom from disease. 
WINTER INJURY. In northern sections 
of the country daylilies which have the 
evergreen habit of growth may suffer 
some winter injury, but if plants are 
well established or protected by a coarse
