WORK DAY AT THE ARBORETUM - Dividing Daylilies

Next week the Master Gardener Volunteers will begin the task of dvividing perennials in beds that are becoming overcrowded.  One of the perennials that needs attention are the daylilies.  After a time daylilies form too large of a clump and may not flower well.  It is also a way to move some favorite varieties to other areas needing some fresh color next spring.  A good guide to follow for dividing clump-forming perennials can be found at this link.  Last year we held a "Dollar Daylily Sale", but do not have enough plants available to sell this Fall.  By next year we may have enough to again host this popular event.
