I don't know why I had not thought about this, but I have a very difficult spot where it is almost impossible to get a mower. And I think this idea was just waiting for my attention. And we have more than enough daylilies to cover it. A great idea! Thank you for posting Rita!

You have a big project ahead of you.

I found it easier to lay out one row at a time. Then depending on the size of your slope would depend on how many layers of rows you need.

Rita - Start at the top and work your way down????

Oh my aching back! I can feel the 'big one' coming on. Judging from the pictures it looks like I have about the same space to cover here with my slope. I do have some tree branches shading the area, so I hope that will not harm the daylilies. This slope has been a real pain for me for nearly 20 years, and I even bought a self-propelled lawn mower for it. But even that slides side ways. I just went out and took a picture of the area where it runs down to the roadway. It has about a five foot drop at about a 40 degree angle and runs almost 50 feet in length. I am concerned about too much shade, but maybe I could try a few plants at a time to see how they do. Here is what it looks like.

Yes, absolutely start at the top.

It doesn't look like too much shade in the picture but it sure does look like a heck of a lot of work to do that big area. Just keep thinking of how lovely it will be when it is done.
