"N" for Nitrogen,
I was told for years not to feed daylilies much nitrogen, "You'll only get leaves" I was told. Now I read more and more about really loading up on nitrogen. I am amazed when I read about how much fertilizer some of the growers feed their plants. Milorganite, Alfalfa meal, even high nitrogen lawn fertilizer! How could growers have been deceived so long about the benefits of nitrogen for daylilies? Mine however do not get all that much nitrogen, but I am gradually coming over to adding more, but I am taking a slow approach mainly due to the very high cost of all those fertilizers.
