Re: perennials-digest V1 #16

     Hi Linda,
     
     Horticulture Magazine also recommended cutting back foliage when 
     dividing daylillies. Of course, this article is about seven years old 
     by now (in my clippings file). But, I believe they were recommmending 
     doing the division in late spring. My concern was if I cut back 
     foliage then, would I also halt flower production.
     
     Never tried it - I just dig the daylillies, divide, and move them 
     elsewhere. The foliage gets a little brown if I don't water enough, 
     but they survive. I've also never had dieback of the foliage after 
     flowering. Frost usually gets it first.
