Now, a year has past: Nothing!! Thy stand in a quite sunny area, the soil is red loam. But They flowerv in that soil at other places! Why not at mine? Too sunny?

Stay patient!

Also I have read that if they are planted too deep they will not bloom.

Check to see if the crown is in the ground to deep, if not patience.

It's alive but not blooming. I don't think it's planted too deep but how does one tell? Charlenenj - New Jersey, Zone "6b"   Charlenenj  Supporting Member My Weather My Garden Posted on Tuesday, May 13, 2008 - 07:40 am EST :    I found this on planting depth: "Construct a cone-like mound of soil in the bottom middle of the planting hole. Set the plant with roots spread over the top of the mound and trailing downward. Adjust the height of the mound so the plant sits as deep as it grew originally. The original depth can be determined by the white leaf base indicating the underground portion. A safe rule is to set the plant so the point where roots and foliage meet is not deeper than 1 inch below the surface of the soil (Figure 3)."

Charlene, I have many daylilies and it looks to me that your illustration has them too deeply planted. I try to keep the crown just at ground level or slightly below with the corms covered with soil. This keeps them from getting crown rot. DL's are heavy feeders, so I fertilize with granular organic fertilizer every spring. Also, an organic liquid fertilizer periodically for anyone that doesn't look happy. Hasta Grow is a good organic booster. :-) I bought many new ones last fall and when I planted them I incorporated earthworm castings and "Rose Glow" into the bottom of the holes. Right now I have lots of bloom scapes and I'm really excited to soon see my brand new babies.

I went and checked the daylilies in question and see I have them planted like your's, not the picture. I did move away a little more dirt though and added some fertilizer that is being set in by the rain as I type. I hope this year will be "the year" and when they ultimately bloom, they are nice looking! Charlenenj - New Jersey, Zone "6b"
