This is the year to divide and transplant my day lilies. To keep them healthy it is best to divide them every 3 years.
I am also trying to solve some problems in my back garden. Day Lilies would be the solution. So I set out to do the task.
It was time to dig up the Day Lily.
As you can see they have gotten very large.
I have to dig up the entire plant in order to divide it.
Look at the size of the plant.
Look at the size of the root tubers.
I decided to split them and move them to the back garden. I needed some perennials in this location that can also handle shade. My budget for buying plants was done for the season. Time to get creative.
I started from the center where there was the most shade.
It is amazing how much this one plant has covered my problem garden! I have 2 more Day Lilies that need to be divided and will transplant more in this area. This garden is finally taking shape!
Have you done any transplanting this season? I would love to hear from you!

You have spurred me on. I plan to divide mine this fall. I think it is too hot in Texas to do it now.
Yes it is best to do it when it is cool. Fall is another great time of year to divide them. We happen to have a cooler than normal summer so far so taking advantage of it. Thank you for commenting.
