More Daylilies for Your Money
While conscientious deadheading keeps daylilies looking neat, it eliminates a propagation possiblity. On some daylily cultivars, the old flower stems produce proliferations (miniature plants that emerge on the stem below a faded flower). If you use these proliferations to propogate expensive cultivars, you won't have to buy new plants at the garden center.
Watch for proliferations in late summer. They arise from a bud that grows into a little cluster of leaves and, by August or September, also sprouts tiny roots. Cut them free, roots and all, and move them to a separate pot. Or plant them beside the mother plant for easy identification.
Some of the daylily cultivars that may sprout proliferations include:
'Coral Crab', 'fairy Tale Pink', 'Lullaby Baby', and 'Prairie Blue Eyes'.
