I just used every decent sized pot and bucket I had to try and cover most of my "named" daylilies. I have already trimmed the foliage back twice this year and they were looking so good I just hated the thought of having to cut them back a third time. There are two nights of below freezing weather predicted, not way below but just below. So I am wondering is it better to cover them or just let them be exposed to the cold and cut them back every time it freezes. I have tons of unnamed ones spread all over, so there was no way to try and cover those, do people who have hundreds have covers for all of them, or do you just let them freeze over and over?
Yes I probably qualify for the tackiest garden award!
