Do you split new double fans?

11 years ago

I just received a shipment of daylilies. When you receive a double fan, do you typically split the fans apart before planting?

I never split doubles. Clumps, only if I would have at least a double in each group.

No, the plant needs to conserve energy to become established.

Thank you Kay. That is what I will do.

I would never split them. It has been my experience that double fans have better growth when newly transplanted. Some single fans just sit there for 1-2 years before they begin to increase. In fact, I'll rarely ever buy a single fan of anything because of that.

I agree with the above people. Only way I would possibly split them is if I was trying to grow them to re-sell.

I agree that you should not split them. They'll have a better chance if you don't! Ellie
