A couple of years ago I began to build up my gardens and put in raised
beds. I had the old orange daylillies everywhere (It just sort of
happened on its own) so I dug them all up, gave them away except for a
couple of mounds that over wintered on the side of the garage in the
gravel where we park our tent trailer.
The following spring, they had sent roots into the gravel and were trying
desperately to grow.
I felt sorry for them and put them into the composted, mulched and
amended new raised bed where, in 2 years, they have crowded out
everything else once again.
So this time they are coming out and going down by the 3 season creek in
my yard, where I am trying to build up a reinforced creek bank and am
putting in various trees and grasses.
They can grow all they want down there, add some color and just bee very
happy.
And I can have my perennial bed back.
