Finding a good balance for the benefit of the daylilies is challenging during those hot scorching summer months. We got our Spring rain in Summer (July) and now with the tropical storms we are getting MORE rain! All this rain has worked out well for my daylilies this year! I mulch mine too, but you have to keep the mulch away from the base of the daylilies and that is harder to do than I realized. I have found that the best thing to do is try to let the daylilies grow large and the plant itself will shade the ground beneath them which helps to keep the roots cooler and moist.
