There are several warnings and tips that you should observe as you plant your day lily plants. Day lilies that have large flowers should have a space of 18 to 30 inch while those that have smaller flowers should have a spacing of approximately 16-24 inches. The best planting times for the day lilies is during spring and fall. These plants do not require lots o specialized attention. However, if accorded some extra attention, they grow to become splendid plants.
Ensure that they feed at least twice a year i.e. during spring prior to blooming and during the season for blooming. During summer, ensure that you mulch them at least once so that you conserve moisture. Remember to deadhead so that you can have increased flowering. Deadheading removes spent blossoms which do not detach on their own.
