Why Fertilizer Won't Fix Sparse Daylily Blooms: Division and Sun Are Key

Stella D'Oro Daylilies Need Division, Not Food

Large, healthy clumps that bloom poorly are overcrowded. Fertilizer won't help.

Division Now (Spring)

1. Cut foliage to 6–8 inches.
2. Dig clump with fork; get maximum root ball.
3. Use two forks back-to-back to pry apart into sections.
4. Replant immediately 12–18 inches apart.
5. Water well.

See US National Arboretum and American Hemerocallis Society.

Division restores bloom; feeding does not.
