do daylillies bloom in the first year

14 years ago

Hi. I bought some wonderful daylillies from Gilbert Wild & Sons - good root systems. Will they bloom this season if I just planted them early this spring?

All the double fans I've bought online from various vendors had to grow a year before giving me some blooms .

Lots of them do if they the fans are big enough. But I Don't think the ones from Wilds will as I had heard that the fans are not that large.

After they start growing and have new green fans give them some alfalfa. Couldn't hurt.

Most of mine bloom the first year. I got Crown of Enchantment from Ridnaught /Farms, and it bloomed almost as soon as it was planted, and it had two more scapes. It came from Florida, and I live in Alabama.

I have good luck with mine blooming the first season but the majority of them are purchased in the south where the scapes are set when I get them. Most of what I have been posting are ones I planted in the spring. Ellie
