Growing Daylilies 
Growing daylilies
David divides clumps of daylilies, preparing them for rowing out. The daylilies we grow are planted in freshly tilled heavy-composted soil.

Just Out of the Ground 
Out of the Ground
This A sized piece has 4 fans and a large healthy root system. These plants were just dug and ready to be cut back and washed.
Out of the Ground
This B sized piece is a little smaller than the A size but it will increase quickly and produce excellent bloom by next year (many B sized piece will bloom the first year).


Packing The Order 
Packing the order
Lastly the plants go into their shipping box. The daylilies are carefully placed between layers of paper. This helps keep them moist but also allows for some air movement reducing molding.
Packing the order
We always are sure to get plants dug, labeled, washed and packed quickly. Plants are generally out of the ground for only part of a day before being packed for shipping. Plants are shipped out the afternoon of the same day they are dug.

 

Digging Orders

Amelia surveys a large block of Hemerocallis Todd Monroe. A bunch of tags hangs from her belt.
Digging Orders
After selecting a plant suitable for digging, Amelia carefully digs and divides a saleable size piece on the spot.
Digging Orders
Our daylily tags are simple but they are easy to read and wont rot or washoff before they get to their destination.


Finishing Touches

Next the daylilies are cut back. This may seem detrimental but we always cut our daylilies back when we transplant them and it makes shipping easier and cheaper (for everyone).
Finishing Touches
Finally the daylilies are individually washed. By removing most of the soil we further reduce the weight and ensure a clean healthy plant. The washing also helps to thoroughly moisten the plants before shipping.
