Soil Requirements
day lilies grow best in loose slightly acidic, well drained soil that contains plenty of rich organic material. Their roots should be moist but not wet, so a tight clay soil is a disaster for them.
Be clear and clayey soils, sandy soils can actually be modified to meet the daylilies. Turning peat, rotted manure or compost in both types of soil will be of great help, and careful assembly or digging would be independentdrainage and increase compaction in clay soils.
Raised beds can help in damp or poorly drained.
A soil pH of 6.0 to 6.5 is ideal for daylilies (as it is for most of the plants).
Planting daylilies
Planting time: daylilies can be planted any time of year, but early fall is generally regarded as the optimal planting season.
Distance: Most daylilies inches apart can be planted 18-24.
As the plants are dayliliesvery aggressive root systems that are determined to compete for food and water, so although many plant side by side, resist the temptation to dig a trench. Instead, dig individual holes for each plant, making each hole at least a foot deep and several feet wider than the root system.
Make a small mound of earth at the bottom of the hole and put the ball in the middle of the mountain, by dragging down the roots
It must be embedded in a friablecondition before it around the roots. Adjust the height of the hill to where the plant is about as deep as it was in the box and make sure that the point at which the roots and leaves to meet not more than an inch below the surface.
Fill the hole with soil and firm, but be careful not to get down. Water the new plant daylily thoroughly, and continue to water daily for a week.
