Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successful growth of your yellow daylily bulbs begins with proper planting and ongoing care. Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of full sun per day; while they can tolerate partial shade, abundant sunlight encourages more prolific blooming. Prepare your soil by amending it with organic matter to improve drainage and fertility. Daylilies prefer well-draining soil but are adaptable to various soil types, from sandy to clay. When planting daylilies, dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots without bending them, ensuring the crown (where the leaves meet the roots) is about one inch below the soil surface. Space plants about 18-24 inches apart to allow for mature growth.

Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the roots. Once established, daylilies are relatively drought-tolerant, but consistent moisture during dry periods will promote better flowering. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced granular fertilizer. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage the plant to produce more flowers and to maintain a tidy appearance. Division every 3-5 years in early spring or fall can rejuvenate overcrowded clumps and maintain vigorous blooming. Winter care is minimal; simply cut back foliage after it yellows in the fall. These bare root daylilies are robust and will reward you with years of beautiful blooms with minimal effort. Understanding proper daylily care is key to their success.
