Now it is time to find a space for your new cuttings. And planting couldn’t be easier!
Dig a hole slightly deeper and wider than your cutting. Next, put a bit of loose soil into the bottom of the hole so the new cutting can easily send roots into the soil. Be sure the top of the plant’s soil line is level with the existing soil line.
Next, fill in the edges of the hole with dirt and lightly press the soil to the roots. And that’s it! If the soil happens to be extremely dry, you can water it. But in most cases, it simply isn’t necessary.
The plant will quickly begin to grow from the roots in the coming weeks, and in nearly all cases will produce blooms the same year.
Late Frost / Freeze
There is no need to worry about dividing daylilies too early in the spring when it comes to a frost hard freeze.
Daylilies truly are one of the strongest and hardest perennials around. And as long as your soil is thawed, you can begin digging up and transplanting new plants in the early spring months.
Although a hard frost or freeze may damage any new growth above the soil, it is temporary. The plant itself will survive just fine, and will quickly begin to shoot new growth up from its base.
See how easy it is! So now it’s time to get out there and start dividing your daylilies this spring. You will be rewarded with healthy plants, and a more full, weed-free flowerbed.
