Planted a few daylilies I bought at Lowes three years ago, and was pleased as to how well they did. Puchased some on line two years ago, and they came last spring. The fans were big and bold last year, but only this year did they send up scapes. Then it was a joy to behold the beautiful yellows, reds, oranges and burgundy colors. Then I noticed they were slowing down. After reading this post, I went out and knocked off about 50-60 seed pods. I think right now, I am more interested in having these plants continue to bloom and grow. I would rather divide with a shovel in the spring, then try to start new plants from seeds.

Often you'll have flower blossoms on it concurrently with seed pods though so you wouldn't want to remove it yet.

This year, mine didn't start to bloom until mid-late July. Everything seems to be about a month behind the norm this year. Strange...I suspect it was because of the cooler than norm temps. we had in May/June (I live in lower Michigan) I agree completely…deadhead daylillies.
