Growing daylilies is very easy.  They are perennial flowers and have a very distinct look that combines elegant, trumpet-shaped flowers with rugged, grass-like foliage that grows and opens up in June in 7B zone.

 They require no work at all.  They are a perfect choice for both novice and experienced gardeners. These hardy perennials thrive best in a spot that receives full sun 6 hours every day.  They like well-draining soil. They need very little water to survive. 

When planting, dig a hole 1 inch deep and wide enough to spread the roots and set the plant so the crown- where the stem meets the roots- sits just below the surface. 

Daylilies have a mass of thick, finger-like roots connected at a central point called the crown. These roots hold moisture and nutrients, which is what makes the plant so incredibly resilient and drought-tolerant. Cover them with a thick layer of compost. Fill the hole back in with soil, gently firming it down with your hands to eliminate air pockets.

 After the bare-root daylily is planted it will typically show new green growth sprouting from the soil within 2 to 3 weeks.  Water them thoroughly upon planting and maintain regular watering until they establish their root systems; after that, they are highly drought-tolerant and only require supplemental watering during extended dry spells. 

When planting bare-root clumps in the spring, Daylilies focus most of their energy on growing new roots first. There will be few light blooms the first summer, but there will be full, spectacular show starting in their second year.

While the overall plant will bloom for several weeks in mid-to-late summer each individual daylily flower only opens for a single day (which is how they got their name!). Fortunately, each stalk carries tons of buds that open in succession to keep the color going.
