Daylilies Spreading Like Crazy ...
I bought a house last summer with a steep bank in a wooded area and read on
the archives of this group that common orange daylilies work very well for erosion control- better than the hybrid kind since they spread faster. Boy is that the truth- a gardener gave me about 20 common orange daylilies and I planted them on the bank and this spring they are sprouting up everywhere- there's huge clusters of them (50+) sprouting up downhill 20-30 yards from where I planted any. The really weird thing is going to be if these things keep spreading at this exponential rate which I assume they will. How exactly do they spread? I read somewhere it was only through roots but I don't see how that could be unless one that I didn't dig in very well washed downhill. And there are some in my neighbor's bank that aren't downhill at all- just parallel to my patch. It's kind of fun watching these things make themselves at home in the area- I have a feeling that long after I'm gone there will be tons of daylilies in this part of town due to me. Bob |
