For those of you who are just getting started with Karol Emmerich day lilies - a bit of advice! Leave plenty of room. As a group, they are very vigorous and multiply rapidly! Three years ago I decided to start a new bed exclusively for her day lilies (plus a few companion plants). I moved most of those I already had (maybe 20) to the new area. But... I did not leave enough space between plants, including about 30 more that I have since acquired. Right now I have NO ROOM for any more unless I enlarge the bed. And I had promised myself I absolutely would not do that. Right now it will be almost impossible to move between plants for deadheading without accidentally breaking off buds.
Notice all the buds... soon they will be opening... will be a gorgeous area, provided I can manage the deadheading!
