You were meant to be in front of and behind the camera! Your knowledge and presentations are top notch and best of all I find myself so relaxed, more confident with my gardening, and smiling after watching and listening to your explanations. Your gardens are so beautiful! Like many other subscribers have said in the past, your channel is the only one I rewatch past videos from to remind myself of your tips and techniques…amaryllis, cool flowers, dried flowers, and your helpful book recommendations! Thank you for all you do to share your passion with us.
Your timing is perfect, thank you Danielle. I have 40 day lilies to plant now it will be done properly. I appreciate your hard work and time you spend on your wonderful vlog.
Very useful information as always, Danielle! In the toughest spots, I've planted carefree wild daylilies (ditch lilies,) in tough spots such as steep/hard-to-mow slopes, or dry/hot or stony areas. They happily thrive everywhere & the cheerful orange blooms draw hummingbirds & pollinators. I do have named cultivars, but love the usefulness of original wild orange for the tough spots.
Great review on caring and dividing daylilies. I have a hill of them that is now over 25 years old. I have intermixed them with daffodils for spring color. The foliage of both are very complimentary. The one big drawback is that they are loved by the deer. I have the hill fenced in but in the areas around the house that are not protected I have to be diligent on spraying and untimately every year they do some damage :(
What I have been told by landscapers is to make up a batch of fertilized water and after digging up plants to soak the roots in the fertilized water for a few seconds and then plant, thus keeping them from shock and giving them a better chance
Young daylilies are candy for earwigs and pill bugs. Have a can of Sluggo ready to go at the first sign of shredded leaves. Also, some varieties of daylily are susceptible to rust; neem oil or copper fungicide will take care of that.
Thank you for sharing, this was so helpful. I have some day lilies that were in my garden years ago when we first bought our house. I can’t wait to divide them and I’ll share some with a local plant sale at our library. Do you grow lily’s for cutting? I’m sure you do , I would love to learn more about them.
Thank you so much for the informative video! Your garden is FABulous and I await for each and every video you present to us! Yes, daylillies are GORgeous; wish they could come up with one that blooms for a few more days!!! Off the subject a bit, I noticed that you don't use fertilizer when planting any of your plants/seedlings; any of the "Tones", for instance (BioTone, PlantTone and such) and your garden STILL looks amazing!! Any secrets you'd like to confess to????????
Do you grow re-blooming daylilies? I love them. I also love their history. Originally the Chinese grew the daylily as a food source according ancient paintings, pre writing. If you like Chinese hot and sour soup, you may have eaten them or seen them in an Asian market as tiger lily buds. It’s always nice to have safe flowers in the garden when you have small children around. Or pets.
I divided some that I got from my brother. He doesn't know what variety they are because they were left at his house by one of his neighbours. They have just sent up their bloom spikes, I hope they are a "different" colour.🤞🤞
If other daylilies are anything like the invasive orange ones we have around here then you pretty much just have to throw the thing out your window and it’ll take over your entire flower bed 😂
My orange daylilies in Baltimore, MD are invasive, but so pretty and thick. I'm thinking about starting a "Free" plant stand that anyone in my walking community can help themselves as I have so many daylilies and cherry trees (all my pits that I throw in a flower pot have started small trees).
@@jcl5345 In a contained area they spread, but so far have not gone beyond the rocks that surround that area unlike my morning glory vine which I would never give to anyone.
How much water do they like? Mine are so green and pretty but when the heat of summer comes they look tired and stressed even with upping the amount of water?
Mine do the same thing. They quit blooming once the heat and humidity come which is just a few weeks or so away. No more blooms and the leaves even turn yellow. I'm in south Alabama.
Is it ok to cut them to the ground in Fall when they are done blooming & leaves look all tattered? I normally leave them alone but the my look messy this time of year.
