Re: Dividing daylilies

I have divided down to 1 fan, but like you say it takes awhile for them to produce lots of blooms ...
I don't normally cut the foliage since I've always believed that is how they feed, maybe that's daffodils.

Did you cut the foliage off when you divided the daylilies?  I could not
believe that doing that could make such a difference in how the plants
grow but now I do that all the time.  Also reducing the plant  to 3 fans
is about all you should cut  and replant.  One can over divide them and
it does take time to rebuilt the energy to bloom good.  I find it takes
about three years to get a nice clump with a lot of blooms here in
Tennessee.
