Daylily , as one of the brightest representatives of his family, will become a real adornment of your front garden, if you follow him properly. This flower is a perennial plant, so periodically it becomes necessary to transplant it. In this article we will study this question in more detail.

To prevent this, it is recommended to transplant the bushes of the daylily every 5-7 years.
