- Digging and dividing daylilies is not something that needs to be done every year. In fact, depending on the daylily variety, you may never need to do so. Still, it is a useful skill to know if you grow daylilies because, chances are, you'll probably need to divide them at some point. The question is, how will you know when it's time to divide your daylilies?
In this video, Ken Oakes not only answers that question, but shows you how to do so. Don't be scared! Dividing daylilies may sound intimidating, but it's actually quite easy-and super beneficial for the health of your daylilies.
As always, if you have any questions, please ask! We love to talk about daylilies!

ABOUT US:
Oakes Daylilies is a family-owned daylily farm that's been in business for three generations. Our daylilies grow in home gardens, city parks and botanical gardens across the nation- including Hawaii and Canada. We are known in the industry as Daylily Experts and grow over 1000 varieties of daylilies on nearly 70 acres in East Tennessee. But over 50 years ago, we started just like you-with one daylily in a home garden.
.............................
FARM-FRESH TO YOU!
When it comes to daylily plants, bigger is better! All of the plants we ship will be three fans or larger - two or three times (or more) what you might receive from other companies. Larger plants get established faster and produce more blooms quicker.
All of your plants will be freshly dug when you order. The leaves are trimmed and the plants are washed and air-dried. Your daylilies will be out of the ground less than 48 hours before they’re headed your way.

I really like the way you get right to the point without prolonging the video. It will be my pleasure to watch your videos.
Thanks! We've got too much to do on our farm to spend too much time talking on a video! We appreciate you watching us.
So glad you’re sharing these videos. Daylilies are so easy to grow and care for but these little tips you’re sharing are so appreciated. Thanks for helping us get the most out of these beautiful plants 🦋
Thanks Donna! We appreciate you!
Oh nice to finally find a daylily easy replanting video ❤️❤️❤️ it so now I’m your new subscriber 🙂
Thank you! We like to keep things simple. Life can be hard enough-- gardening shouldn't be!
Love the videos, the ones I’ve had are getting veins through the leaves, I need to divide them thank you
I have orange daylillies that I dug up from an old house about 25 years ago and they still bloom every year in june
oh my goodness! been looking for them everywhere and no store have that type…😢
@@womanofwazoThey are Hemerocallis fulva and actually not a true lilly in the genus Lillian. Commonly called ditch lillies, tiger lillies, among other nicknames. They are considered an invasive that provides no benefit to native insects and that can overtake beneficial plants in a natural environment. Thats why they’re not sold at nurseries but there are sellers on Etsy, etc. I have them in my border garden where they can be controlled. I have to thin them almost every year and occasionally give away bulbs with the caveats I mentioned above. I love their numerous tall flowers that almost resemble birds in flight and their blooming signals the beginning of summer for zone 6. I got mine from my brother’s yard 15 years ago. He dug me out a couple of bunches and put them in a black plastic garbage bag so as not to mess up the trunk of my car. I didn’t get around to planting them until a few days later and they’ve thrived ever since. You can’t hardly kill them. I cut them to the ground when the blooms fade and they quickly regrow fresh green foliage that acts as ground cover for the remainder of the growing season, then cut them again in the fall and lightly mulch.

If you see someone that has them, ask if you can dig out a clump, they’ll likely say yes. 👍🏻
I have orange ones too in the UK. My late grandparents gave them to my dad 35+ years ago and now I've got some too. Amazing colours.
just what I needed
Good to know! Thanks for watching it!
Thank you! Your demonstrations & explanations are always so well done!! I also use my old serrated kitchen knives!!
Old knives are the best! Ha ha! We're big believers in multi-purposing objects!
I dug up my Daylilies just last fall. Talk about Clumps of roots.!! No wonder I was hardly getting any flowers. I went ahead and split them and put some back in the bed. They came back fine.!
Dividing daylilies works wonders on established plants that don't bloom like they used to-- so happy you tried it and are pleased!
@@OakesDaylilies you have No idea How established they were.!! holey moley..lol
@@donnawhite4621 Ha! We always say that anyone who thinks daylilies aren't tough plants needs to try digging out an established one!! They'd soon change their mind!
🤬🤬lol
I love ❤your daylillies I’ve bought a plenty from y’all! I want more 😊

Thank you! We appreciate it so much. If you have any topics you'd like us to make a video about, or any questions you'd like us to answer, please let us know.
Good day Mr Oakes , thanks for your videos, we really enjoy them! Do you ever have a problem with fungus that looks like rust on your daylily leaves? If so, how do you deal with it? Regards from South Africa 🌸
Hi-- thanks! We're having a lot of fun making our videos and appreciate you watching them! We don't have an issue with rust on our daylilies, but we do know that it can be a problem elsewhere. We recommend treating it with a fungicide and removing and safely disposing the leaves from the affected plant(s). I'm not sure what fungicides are available in South Africa. If you have local agricultural extension agents like we do here, I suggest you check with them to see what the most effective treatment might be in your area. If you don't have local ag extension agents, a reputable nursery or growing center should be able to suggest one. Good luck and thanks again for watching!
Thanks so much for the reply, I appreciate it! All the best 🌸
Thank you for the content!
How long should one wait to dig up and divide the lilies?
At the risk of sounding vague, it depends on the daylily. Some daylilies grow faster than others so they would need dividing more often. (Some daylilies never need dividing!) You'll know if it needs dividing if a) it's become a very large clump and b) doesn't bloom as heavily as it used to bloom. That being said, it's typically a good rule of thumb that MOST daylilies could be divided every 5 years or so. Hope that helps! (And thanks for watching our videos-- we appreciate it!)
@@OakesDaylilies thank you! That makes sense!
Hello from Avon Park FL, I have a patch of beach spider lilies, couldn't id them until they bloomed, have never seen these before, they really need to be dug up and separated, its now labor day, when should I get to work on these ??
Hi! We only grow daylilies, but from what I've heard, the best time to divide spider lilies is right after their bloom season. So now would probably be a good time
What time of year????
Whenever they need it. Daylilies can be divided throughout the growing season. We suggest not doing it in summer because it can affect their bloom. Right now, in early fall, is ideal.
I have 2 large pots of daylilies that have been blooming for years and are very crowded. What is the best way to divide them without breaking my pot?
You may not love this suggestion, but we would take an old steak knife and just slice between them. You should be able to take them out in chunks that way and keep your pot intact. It's not pretty, but it's effective!
Indiana clay....lol shaking off the dirt..
A good "dirt shake" is always fun! 🤣
