The man who has planted a garden feels that he has done something for the good of the world.  ~Author Unknown

Planting trees, shrubs, flowers, vegetables ... all good in my book.  When planting daylilies, most anytime is good.  Here in Zone 7, at Oakville Farm, daylilies are currently blooming.  When purchasing daylilies now, it is recommended that after getting the daylilies home, cut the greenery back to about five inches and then place roots in water for hydration.  Leave in water for several hours before planting.  After planting, provide an inch of water per week allowing daylilies to get established.  The daylilies will recover promptly and new growth will appear.  That is the magic of daylilies, they are quite resilient.


Here are more great bloomers ....
