Betty, thanks for mentioning the alfalfa pellets. I used them when I moved all of my plants this year, and have been very happy with the huge amount of worms I had in just two short months. Before that, I think I only saw one or two in the garden. Now they are everywhere. So, while it may feed the daylilies some, it really helps with the worms. I also used seaweed fertilizer for the first time when planting, and I'm not sure which one helped the most, but most of my daylilies bloomed, and the growth has been amazing! I think I'll give them one more feeding of the seaweed stuff, and then spread some more alfalfa pellets, before adding some extra mulch for the winter. I've never fertilized my plants before, but I'm happy with how they have done. Mine are almost all dormants, so I'm thinking the same thing that you mentioned. They don't really need it in the fall, since they aren't growing, but I guess it couldn't hurt to add alfalfa or seaweed.
