Daylilies are easy to grow. You should soak the plant for at least a day before planting it. Dig a hole big enough to fit the plant and amend the soil. Mushroom compost and some sphagnum moss to amend the soil can be for the daylily but know your soil. Liquid fertilizer can be good too but not needed once the flowers come. Deadhead the blossoms so the next day's flowers have room and unless you are hybridizing, break any seed pods off. After 3-5 years, the daylily should be split. Share the extra with friends or plant it in a new location.
