I just read a post about losing daylilies in winter. I am new to planting daylilies and want to be prepared when September/October rolls around. I live in Lexington, KY and it can get fairly cold in winter. I have read several different articles on different websites and they all suggest different things. I realize that maintenance depends on regions. None of these articles have been written by someone living close to Lexington. Here are a few questions that I would appreciate some advice on: Do you trim daylilies to prepare for winter or after winter is over? How short do you trim the daylilies? Do you put down mulch, pine needles, or other protection? How deep do you place the protection? Do you cover the entire plant or just over the roots? Do you dig plants up for winter and store in pots in a non heated garage? Do I need a greenhouse for winter? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I know it is early for this subject, but I want to be prepared.
