I really wish they were month lilies.
.
.
Because they’re a wonderful pop of color in the garden and a day just isn’t enough.
.
.
I have them scattered here and there around the property.
.
.
And while this dark pink is my favorite, it’s never grown larger… though I planted it 17 long years ago.
.

This line of hostas and day lilies was here when we moved in… and though it’s not a good spot, I’ve yet to relocate them.

This double ruffle is sweet.

But the stormy sky behind my backyard patch?
.
.
Not at all sweet.

Wow, those are beautiful lilies, and you call your back yard a “patch?” No River, it’s not a patch, you have a yard the size of Central Park (or close to it) and its most definitely a patch…lol.
Your getting rain now? Unfortunately so am I…..still…ugh.

Ha! I meant the patch of day lilies behind the deck. I’m well aware our ( always in need of mowing ) lawn patch is quite large.

No Black-eyed Susans? I dig them (not literally) because they require little or no care, bloom for weeks, grow like crazy….and I’m too lazy to be a diligent gardener.

I used to have a whole bed of them. Until the husband kept covering it in grass clippings and choked them out…

One of many things I’m loving about Vermont is all the day lilies! I was thrilled to find them in my new yard. I love the pink ones!

I think I’m the only person on earth who doesn’t like day lilies!! I’d grow StarGazers but they’re too kitty-poisonous. I have Spider lilies but I missed the only bloom.

I had beds full of Tiger and Oriental lilies but 3 years of lily beetle infestation decimated them.

Some daylilies are slow growers and don’t spread out. If you want that clump of pink daylilies to be larger dig it up and split it into 4 or 5 pieces and plant a foot or so apart. Next summer you will have a large clump of pink dayliles. You don’t have to wait for fall. As long as they go back into the ground the same day they will hardly know they were moved.

Thanks! I’ll try that…

I always joke that I could pour acid on my daylilies and they would manage to survive. Heck, they’d probably thrive.

We have lilies in our backyard, too…and they do add a nice splash of color.

Those pink ones are great. The orange kind (not double ruffle) are massively overused in my area. I have them all along the side of my house (previous owner’s decision) but ripped them out of my main garden. I’ve planted some interesting colors of daylilies – sure wish they would spread as quickly as the orange ones do.

The orange are the easiest to start and they spread so easily. Not my favorite either but all of ours were already here when we moved in.
