Jerry Pate Williams, near Cincinnatti, shared how he kept his home garden looking spectacular. I used to love visiting his home, because the daylilies always looked at their peek. He had a farm out of town where all the daylilies were grown out. He showed me that they were grown in pots, then set in the ground. It has been many years ago since he explained, so my memory might not be perfect...
At his home display garden, he had one pot in the ground, empty, then would slip the daylily pots into it. They spaced out the in-ground pots perfectly. He would swap out the daylilies that he put in the in-ground pots throughout the bloom season. Mulch covered the tops of the pots. I swear, you would never know they were not planted in the ground.
This meant he always had daylilies looking their best in his home garden.
