Hi Ken. I have been binge watching your videos this morning after finding your channel. Time to head out back and look for "prolifs". Thanks for the information.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post videos to teach us! I saw one of these on my day lily and had no idea what it was. I know now and thank you! I'm excited to do this!
We love talking about daylilies! If you think of something daylily-related that you'd like to know more about, let us know and we'll try to answer it (and maybe make a video about it!!) ha ha!
Excellent information!! I do get proliferations and it’s so exciting. I’m a daylily addict and I’m so thankful that I found your company because your daylilies are always outstanding! 🦋😊
I had these last year and emailed your office and she told me what it was and suggested a older video. I did exactly what you suggested and have beautiful new plants that even survived the winter!!!!
Thank you! If you are talking about the peachy-pink with plum eyezone, that's Pandora's Treasure. It's a beauty and a fantastic rebloomer. You can see more about it here: oakesdaylilies.com/product/pandoras-treasure/
Hey thanks for subscribing (and for watching!). We really enjoy talking about daylilies. If you have any questions you'd like answered, please let us know!
Your tips on proliferations were very helpful, esoecially the water tip. I will try that next year. I have gotten a few proliferations, but have not tried to sace them, have seen none yet this year. I did read in one spot that you should leave the green stalks until they turn brown as they can form a proliferation even after the blooms have finished? Perhaps others know the answer. Thank you.
Once the scapes turn brown they are dead. We've never seen a dead scape produce a live proliferation. We typically either pull out the brown, dead scapes to make the plant look neater, or trim the whole plant down at the end of the season.
I found an entire bed of daylilies in front of a hospital in Zone 9a Oxnard, California which had no flowers at all, but every “flowering” stalk had proliferations instead. I picked some and took them home to Zone 8a Texas, but didn’t manage to get them to root. I didn’t take the cutting like you demonstrated though - didn’t want to take part of the stem so I took the proliferations themselves. It was October PS: would you happen to know the name of that variety? No evidence of flowers at all. Every flower stalk had proliferations instead of flowers (no they weren’t Spider Plants as someone in my family suggested). Neither of my daylily books had it
Planting proliferations are a fun way to get extra daylilies, but it can be tricky to get them to root if you've traveled with them. Unfortunately, without seeing the plant and/or bloom, there's no way for us to identify it.
It's common for daylilies that have been transplanted, whether into the ground or a pot, to have some yellowing on the leaves. The leaves may green back up or they may die back and be replaced by new leaves, either way, it shouldn't take more than a few weeks.
Hi! In zone 9B, your daylilies should be fine to overwinter in pots. Depending on winter temps in your area, you may have to do some protection measures. Here's a link to a video we shot earlier this summer about daylilies in containers. Hope it helps! th-cam.com/video/Z-j9HjD7t_w/w-d-xo.html

Great information,thanks!! Now I’m going to look for them on my daylilies? Thanks again!

Thank you Donna! We appreciate you!
Great info and thanks for your videos. I get prolifs on Lady Georgia and Lady Melanie too.
We have Lady Georgia and get a lot from her, too! Prolifs are so cool--- we love to see them!
I had these last year and emailed your office and she told me what it was and suggested a older video. I did exactly what you suggested and have beautiful new plants that even survived the winter!!!!
Oh that's great to hear! It's so exciting to grow them from "babies," isn't it?
This is what I would like to do! Which zone are you in, and what did you do to ensure they survived the winter?
@@raychel3548 We are in zone 7. We overwinter them in pots and then plant them outside after the threat of frost has passed in the spring
Thanks for putting this up! I am always impressed with the daylilies I get from you. What is the variety behind your right shoulder?

@@OakesDaylilies It's on my wishlist now! Thank you😊

Is it normal to get yellow leaves after a few days when planted in a pot like you suggested? Roots look like they're taking off but leaves not...

Would dipping the stem into Rootone rooting powder help?
Hi Douglas. We've never tried Rootone but can't see that it would hurt. If you give it a try, please let us know how it works!
@@OakesDaylilies Will do and let you know results in fall
@@douglasbaxter3034 Please do!
I bought some Daylilies this summer in big pots , im a zone 9b, do i have to place them in the ground this winter?
