Here's me with another newbie question.

I was given (asked to dig up actually) this daylily from a friend's yard. I will get more from her no doubt but this was huge and all I was prepared to deal with right away!

All she can tell me is that it has not bloomed yet this year, and the blooms are lavender color.

I would have divided it in her yard as it clearly could use that (numerous fans in there) but the soil was rock hard so I ended up taking the whole thing. Temporarily put in a container.

Questions: Do you think it might go ahead and bloom this year? Should I divide it right away, at least into two or more likely three clumps and pot them separately now? or later after it blooms? It may need to be a container plant for a while as I am not at all sure at this point where I would site it in the ground though I could probably find a place for some of it. Suggestions?
