If I plant daylily bulbs today will they bloom well this summer?

I live in Tacoma, WA and I'm scared it's too late to plant them, but I don't know. Thanks.

If I plant daylily bulbs today will they bloom well this summer?
I would put them in the ground right away. They should bloom okay, it is still early. I amended my soil with rotten vegetation from the bottom of my old pond and it did wonders for my daylillies. It also did marvels for my tomatoes.
Reply:The climate in WA is ideal for flowers like day-lilies, plant them and see how they do, then make sure you divide the maturing plants every year as the grow and soon you will have a ton of them...Miracle grow fertilizer will also help to make them grow healthy.
Reply:I've done that and had reasonably good luck - especially with Stella Dora's. They'll be way better next year, but you'll get some flowers this year.





A friend of mine who has amazing gardens says that with perrenials, it takes 2 growing seasons to really establish them and the 3rd year they will look terrific!
Reply:Well, daylilies do not really come from bulbs, but they do have a fleshy-type root clump. They are perennial or evergreen. They can be planted at any time of the year, but spring or fall is best. Planting in the heat of summer can sometimes contribute to fungus or rot. This is the ideal time of year for planting. They are extremely hardy and easy to please. They tolerate drought and poor soil fairly well. They will probably bloom this year, although next year's bloom will be much better. If you have potted daylillies, they are going to do much better than bare root, but bare root will catch up and do fine as well. Good luck, and enjoy your lillies...they are a great plant!
Reply:Most of the time they will not, but sometimes they do. They have to be planted anyway, so go ahead and plant them. :o)
Reply:Hi, Yes they will bloom this summer. However they may bloom later in the summer. Mine always do.
Reply:They might -- it depends on the quality and size of the roots. But you should not really expect a good display the first year you plant day lilies -- they do much better after they have been in the ground for a few years.
