Big Time Happy

Daylilies Big Time Happy bulbs are easy to grow and maintain, making them a favorite among gardeners. To plant, choose a well-draining location with at least six hours of sunlight per day. Amend the soil with compost or well-aged manure to improve fertility and drainage. Plant the bulbs about 1 inch deep and 18 to 24 inches apart.

Water the bulbs regularly, ensuring the soil remains moist but not soggy. Mulch around the plants to help conserve moisture, control weeds, and maintain consistent soil temperatures. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and after blooming. Remove spent flowers and yellowed leaves to promote continuous blooming and a tidy appearance.

The ideal time to plant Big Time Happy Daylilies is during spring or fall when the soil temperatures are moderate, and the risk of extreme temperatures is minimal. Daylilies are frost-hardy in USDA hardiness zones 3-10, so you can leave them in the ground year-round.

Planting in early spring allows the bulbs to establish a strong root system before the growing season begins while planting in fall gives the bulbs time to settle in before the ground freezes. In both cases, the bulbs will have ample time to develop and will reward you with a stunning display of flowers during the next growing season.

When planting Big Time Happy Daylilies, it's essential to give them adequate space to grow and thrive. A general guideline is to plant them 18 to 24 inches apart, which allows for proper airflow and prevents overcrowding. This spacing helps reduce the risk of fungal diseases and ensures each plant receives enough light and nutrients to flourish.

Depending on the size of your garden bed or area, you can plant as many daylilies together as space allows while maintaining the recommended spacing. For example, in a 10x10-foot garden bed, you could plant approximately 16 to 25 Big Time Happy Daylilies while adhering to the recommended spacing.

We recommend planting them at least in groups of three for that special effect.

Dividing and propagating Daylilies Big Time Happy bulbs is a simple process that promotes healthy growth and allows you to share your plants with friends and family. After three to five years, or when the plants become crowded and blooming diminishes, it's time to divide.

In early spring or fall, carefully dig up the clump, taking care not to damage the roots. Gently separate the clump into smaller divisions, each with at least two or three fans of leaves and a healthy root system. Replant the divisions in a well-prepared bed, following the planting guidelines for spacing and depth. Water thoroughly after planting to encourage healthy root growth.
