Default daylillies from root

You should plant your daylilies in a sunny location. If all you have is
shade then consider giving them away or trading them. You could put them in
pots until you have a spot selected in your yard, or until you find someone
to give them to.

If you put them in the ground right away, then I would water them daily
until they are growing well. They can be draught resistant but they really
do like regular waterings to perform best. Of course, well drained soil is
best. I grow my daylilies in raised beds whenever possible and I do mulch
them year round. I am in central North Carolina.

I know many growers that water their daylilies daily, and I also recommend
this during the bloom season so that the plants perform at their very best.
Big blooms and high bud count are important to me.

Happy daylilies,

Bobby
