Transplanting orange day lilies is a crucial process that ensures the best-looking plants. Lilies produce from bulbs and need to be divided and transplanted in the fall for the best results. Experts recommend moving lilies in late September or early October, and transferring them immediately after lifting them. The best time to divide lilies is in the spring after new growth and in the fall to prevent overcrowding.
To transplant lilies effectively, it is essential to minimize transplant shock and employ the right techniques for preparing and dividing the bulbs. In all climates, the best time to transplant daylilies is in the spring when the shoots are just beginning to emerge. This time, cooler temperatures and gentle spring rains help newly divided and rooted plants grow.
Transplanting lilies is easy, and it is important to cut stems to 5 or 6 inches above the ground and dig several inches around the patch of soil. Divide your lilies every 3-4 years to prevent overcrowding, as they will have developed a large bulb structure underground. After 3-4 years, your lilies will have developed a large bulb structure underground.
In the flower bed, the soil should be rich with organic compost. Plant the lily to the depth it was in its pot and add a layer of compost. Dig one hole for each plant you wish to transplant, spacing individual holes 18 to 24 inches apart. Dig each hole twice as wide as the plant’s root ball.
In summary, dividing and transplanting orange day lilies is a crucial process that ensures the best-looking plants. It is essential to choose the right time and location for the process, as well as to ensure the proper preparation and planting of the lily.
