I have grown some daylilies for 30 years. I am not an afficionado nor a collector of numerous species. But I have grown perhaps a dozen or so varieties.

Until today, I had never seen a daylily proliferation. At a gardener friends house I noticed what appeared to be new plants growing on the scapes of one type they had. There were none on their other varieties.

Researching tonight I found these are baby plants. (The are just like keikis that will grow on orchids - particularly phalaenopsis. I am well aware of these cause I have 8 growing right now.) They will be an exact clone of the mother plant. Cool Big Grin

They offered to give them to me but I was not sure what to do with them until I had researched what they were. nodding Tomorrow, I will return and cut all those that have roots or appear that they will make roots.

Since it is so late in the season, if I pot them up it will take a few weeks before they vecome established. By then we will likely be in a deep freeze. What should I do? I have never over wintered daylily indoors, yet one article suggested as much.

Tell me about your experience with daylily proliferations. Thanks
