When is the best time to transplant perennials such as day Lilly’s in Minnesota?
Posted on Jul 03, 2009 under Best Perennials |I have a big bunch of them that I want to separate and move some to the back yard.
Daylilies are a very sturdy plant. Its almost impossible to hurt them. Late spring is the best time to transplant because it guarantees blooms for the next year but you can do it anytime during the growing season in Minnesota. So dig them up and remove the flower stalks, divide and replant. Make sure to give them extra water during this period and a little water soluble fertilizer would not hurt. Here is a link to help you.

Early spring is the best time. Move them as soon as they poke up through the soil. Moving them this early allows them to establish a root system before the warm dry weather comes. You should have any problems moving them, they are very hardy.
Good Luck!
