Daylilies are invaluable for the summer garden. 
By choosing both early and late varieties one can 
have bloom from May until frost. 
They are not particular about soil but repay one 
for plenty of moisture and nourishment, though they 
are very drouth resistant. While they will grow in 
shade they need sun part of the day to produce bloom 
and do even better in full sun. They do not require 
frequent division so space them from 2-3 feet apart 
to permit formation of good clumps. They are quite 
hardy when established but should have some pro- 
tection the first winter when fall planted. The ever- 
green kinds do not remain evergreen in nothern sec- 
tions and for best results should be spring planted. 
Dormant kinds may be planted in either spring or 
fall. Mix some well rotted manure in the holes when 
planting or compost with a handful of bone meal 
added.
