When should I plant all my day lily and lilly bulbs?

I have already bough 2 daylillies and 12 lillies, i planted them 2 weeks ago. Only about 4 are coming up. And i planted some other bulbs like dahlia and a couple of others, but none of those came up. Why is this? Are they going to come up at all? I know they won%26#039;t bloom this year, but did they die? They were%26#039;t mushy or anything. I planted all the bulbs including the lillies all the proper ways, but so far only a couple of lillies are coming up, and none of the dahlias and the others are coming up. Why aren%26#039;t they coming up? will the come up, and bloom next year? one last thing, when should I plant my lily bulbs so that they bloom next year the best, this fall, or next spring? Thanks in advance!

they can be planted at any time but fall is the best. They are cold hardy most places except places with very harsh winters.
Reply:Lilly%26#039;s come up in the spring after having their winter chill period. The daylily%26#039;s are most likely the ones that are growing, as you can plant them about any time. It would help to know what growing zone you are in, and if you had any instructions about how deep to plant them.
Reply:Personally, I planted my bulbs in the fall of last year, and they bloomed very nicely in the spring Apr-May. I have also planted some in the summer months, and also did not receive great results. Hold tight and I think next spring you will see great results.


As for the rest of the bulbs, usually fall is the best time to plant. :-)
Reply:Professionally I dislike using bareroot plants for just that reason!





Daylily (Hemerocallis) is a perennial in most parts of the country, and can be purchased during the growing season as a potted perennial with leaves, flowers and buds relatively inexpensively. They are almost indestructible once established.





As for the lilies, hold tight. I had a few come up their first year, and almost all of them the second. Be sure to water them as if they were growing. Again, you can buy them in the summer as potted perennial plants.





Dahlias... Well in a large portion of the country they aren%26#039;t hardy. So you may or may not see anything happen. My guess is they aren%26#039;t going to grow for you. Dahlia isn%26#039;t a true bulb, rather more like roots. They lack the ability to be dormant for a year. I recommend planting dahlias in 6 or 8%26quot; pots in March or April, indoors. Water them as needed, they should start growing indoors. Once the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outside to keep on growing.





I hope that this helped
