After flowering, daylilies are ready to be divided. Divide them into 6- to-8-inch clumps. Place them two feet apart. Divide daylilies in fan divisions if you have larger plants. Each division should be made up of one fan of leaves and one cluster of roots. The new divisions are to be planted 6 to 12 inches apart.

After division, the first step is to dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball of the daylily. You should fill this hole with fresh garden soil or compost. You can plant the crown and water well to give it a start.

Before replanting your daylily after division, examine the core for dead growth and to determine whether the plant is overgrown.

Remove any roots that are damaged or diseased.

Therefore, dividing them once a year will revitalize the plant and keep them looking beautiful. Divide daylilies to form small clumps that measure approximately 5-6 inches tall.

Daylilies should be cut to the base once they have stopped blooming. This will encourage new flower growth. If the plant is too full, it might not bloom next year.

Daylilies are very easy to grow and maintain. You can divide them and transplant them into different locations. Dig a hole twice as large as the root mass when transplanting daylilies. Be sure to spread the roots on a mound of soil and add some organic matter and slow-release fertilizer. The new plants will need water to adjust to the new soil.
