What is the difference between lily and daylily?
A lily will always have six petals. An easy way to differentiate between the two is to check out their leaves. The leaves of a daylily plant look like grass blades growing from a clump. On the other hand, lilies will have leaves growing the entire height of the central stem.
How do you get daylilies to spread?
For best results, dig up the entire clump of daylilies, cut the foliage back to about 6 inches, and pull or cut the clump into pieces with a sharp knife. Each piece should have several stems (or fans of leaves) with roots attached.
Can I plant daylilies in the shade?
Daylilies should be planted in full sun or partial shade that receives 4-6 hours of sun per day. Despite the preference of full sun, occasionally colorful daylily blooms can be found under the shade of tall trees. Wherever some shade is present, the daylily flowers will face away from it toward open sky.
Do daylilies need lots of water?
Daylilies love water during the growing season and prefer about an inch of water per week. In many areas, regular rainfall will supply much of that amount. In areas where rainfall is less consistent, supplemental watering will benefit your daylilies enormously.
Can you start daylilies from cuttings?
Propagating Daylilies To propagate them, divide the daylily clumps in early spring (February through April) or in the late summer to fall after flowering (late July through mid-September) prior to the autumnal equinox. The plants need at least six weeks to get re-established before winter.

Can I plant daylilies under trees?
Daylilies also like well-drained, rich, slightly acidic soil, so stick to plants that like the same. Avoid planting daylilies under trees, as the shade will stunt their growth and the tree roots will get in the way of the lilies’ own extensive root system.
What do you put behind daylilies?
