Don’t trust all-purpose glue.

We have a lawn service person come about once a month when our annual grass develops seed heads. He mows the center of our lot and string trims around our beds etc.

He is very careful leaving sunflowers, snake weed, flax, milkweed, and other blooming good "weeds" that help wilding our little patch of rocks and sand.

Our beds are bordered with, what else, rocks, which are hard to see as the grass grows up around them and this week he got into one of the beds with his string trimmer.

We now have about a dozen daylilies that were growing well which now have foliage trimmed down to within an inch or two from the ground.

We are still early in our short growing season. What would be the best process for salvaging these three and four year old plants?

Thank you for any suggestions you might have to offer.

I'm all ears.

I’d rather have questions that can’t be answered than answers that can’t be questioned.

I would leave them where they are, they will recover faster than you think.

I agree with Fred, just leave them be. The crown isn't damaged, so they will just regrow the leaves.
