I moved four daylilies today and still have more to do. I had to remove the last row of the three rows in put in that big planterbox bed I have in my front yard. I put two rows of daylilies along the front and one in back That was last spring. By fall I could see that the row along the back wasn't going to work out. Made it too narrow for walking up there and they were only first year plants. So I moved half the row last fall then ran out of time. So I figgured I would move the rest this spring. Besides last fall I had no idea were I could actually move them too! I am planning on putting some annuals in there for summer long color. Also in the fall I plan to plant bulbs in there, daffodils and tulips. I got a later start on the daylily project as I was cleaning out all my ponds first. I put the filter and pump in the big stocktank pond and stated running that. The water was the dirtiest I have ever had it but I just scooped all the leaves and junk that fell in overwinter as best I could and started the pump and filter. I had bought a new filter the other day so I could do this. Tomorrow I will change the filter again as it should have sucked up much of the mess by then. I do so love that biggest pond I put in afew falls ago. Another one of my projects but it's one of my favorites. I also planted afew lily bulbs and an going out now to plant some more.

Looks like your plans worked out pefectly, three days of daylily orders and three days of planting. I hope they all bloom for you this summer and clump up nicely. Love daylily bloom season! Glad to hear your iris should start soon, mine started this week. Honestly at least as many people grow and are crazy about iris as grow and are crazy about daylilies. I can't figgure out why the iris forum isn't as busy as this one is :-((

We live in McIndoe Falls, Vt. 2 years ago I visited Olallie Daylily Nursery right after Labor Day, with camera! I figured the best way to select late bloomers was to see the late bloomers in the display gardens! They couldn't have been nicer and I came home w/ the back seat full:) I alternated late bloomers with summer bloomers along our drive and up the walk to the kitchen door. Goal was to have full season bloom. I had 11 daylilies blossuming still on Oct 27th. Now, the bad news! I can't locate my "map" so can't list them by name. The map will show up.. The late bloomers are late bloomers and if you have an opportunity to visit the nursery around Labor Day, I suggest you do so!

I have just dragged myself back inside for the day. I am absolutely shot. Can barely drag myself around. At least it has been a very productive few days and my projects are moving forward. Cindy, I will deffinatly take pictures and post them. I really think (I hope for sure) that those daylilies will hold that slope. I tried to space them really cose for the hill holding effect but still I had to leave some room because I don't want them to grow together. After I finish I plan to put something between the rows also to break up any idea of the rain to wash too much. Either that green edging you get at Home Depot or a row of bricks. Or maybe a combo of the two. I will set the bricks down some and then mulch on top of the entire thing. Will take pictures as I go along. I have thought this entire thing out before I starting anything. Right now the hill will not wash out because the grass is still there between the daylily clumps. I did not remove the grass, simply dug holes thru the grass and planted. I will do the bricks, then cut newspaper, lay on top of grass, then put straw on top of that so that the area between the clumps is heavily mulched. Also wanted to get the roots a chance to start growing. Straw works pretty well on slopes, I use it on sections of Azealea Hill and its pretty darn streep. Almost but not quite as bad as the area I am planting on now. No were near as gentile a slope as on the section in the front yard were I have the zinnias and the daylilies. This is what one has to resort to when one has run out of room.
