We had our landscaping done close to 5 years ago and the landscaper planted some red and yellow daylilies in 4 different loations along the back fence. Only just this year, they seem to be thriving and we've fallen in love with them but have some questions!

I've read that the daylilies need to be divided every 2-3 years and I'm not exactly sure what this means. I'm not sure I remember seeing the gardener doing anything with the daylilies other than removing the dead leaves. Any insights appreciated on this point.

Also, I have no idea what these originally planted daylilies are called but I went to a local nursery and bought 2 more yellow plants (Stella d'Oro) and 2 more red ones (Red Velvet). The pots are probably 6" and I had intended to plant yellow ones together in one clump and the red ones together in another clump but the gardener planted them for us all separately. I was going to move them this weekend but does that make sense?

Finally, what do all of you plant with your daylilies? Again, this is against about 60 feet of our back fence where we really don't have anything other than daylilies right now. The daylilies get full sun in the morning, mid-day and early afternoon, shade in the late afternoon. We have a couple of camellias on each end of the fence where the neighbors trees provide more shade than in the middle part of the fence.

Thanks in advance. Vicky.
