Hi, I'm intersted in your pink lilies. Are they liliums or daylilies? Do you have a picture of them? I have some bulbs, most are summer blooming, though. Betsy

I would like both. I have variegated flowering ginger, orange flowering ginger, coral flowering canna, named daylilies and named hosta. Also check my trades list. Let me know what types of things you're looking for. Thanks, Erin

You can cut back daylilies whenever you wish and they will grow new leaves (unlike daffodils). You can shear them to an inch or two or leave more if there is already new growth at the bottom of the plant. However, they need to stay moist in order to regrow and some compost would help it to generate that fresh growth. The same goes for irises, though they look rather unsightly after being trimmed and the only reason to do so is if the leaves look unsightly already due to disease or leaf death. DiSabato-Aust (pruning guru) recommends cutting them down completely after a killing frost but leaving them be until then.
