I had to work on making the daylily beds for years and then after I started the beds and even while I was making new ones I would be moving daylilies around like crazy each spring and fall. Finially got the worst of the moving done and that is when I got truly serious about adding the spring bulbs.

One of my biggest projects was the left hand side of the front yard. I had the daylilies in two rows along the stacked stone wall. Then I had those belgium block mini terraces put in which means I could finially do the bulbs. So I did. 200 of Scheepers Long Trumpet mix daffs went in along the two belgium block mini terraces and 200 of Scheepers early tulip mix went in back of the two daylily rows which of course made them in front of the daffs.

I really like putting daffs and tulips around the daylies as it gives me the early spring color which is another bloom season. Then they die back and dissapear so they don't bother the daylilies at all. I am really surprised that more people have not planned their daylily beds this way.

Stephanie, look at Brent and Beckies. That is were I got those really orange trumpet MARIA daffs.
