How to Prune Daylilies: A Step-by-Step Guide

Daylilies (Hemerocallis spp.) should be cut back in the fall after the foliage has turned brown and died back. The best time to do this is late October or early November. This will help to prevent disease and promote healthy new growth the following spring.

To cut back daylilies, simply use a sharp pair of pruners or hedge trimmers to remove the old foliage at the base of the plant. You can also use your hands to pull the old foliage off of the plant. Be sure to remove all of the old foliage, as this will help to prevent disease and promote healthy new growth.

After you have cut back the daylilies, you can apply a layer of mulch around the plants to help protect them from the winter weather. This will also help to keep the soil moist and prevent erosion.
