Question
I planted more than 1200 bulbs in a sunny area in a stone retaining wall last fall.  I planted tulips, daffodils, muscari and stella d'oro Daylillies, thinking I'd have continuous blooms most of the spring/summer.  Everything bloomed except the daylillies---what a disappointment!  What did I do wrong?  All the bulbs came from the same source.  Every hear of such a thing as this?

Answer
Kaye,
The gardeners dilemma is always going to be there.There is always something that throws you off course and often when you least expect it.Like my no bloom roses I coaxed with rose food spikes and soaking slowly with water.Still no blooms. I give a perennial at least 2 years,but roses only 1 to perform. Daylilies like the Stella D'Oro I would definetely give 2 years to perform. It is possible that you planted them a bit too deep or maybe they aren't getting full sun. Although I have seen them bloom in partial shade,most bloom best in full sun.Spring blooming bulbs like Tulips and Daffodils don't get shade because no leaves are present on trees to block the sun. But when you plant a bulb that blooms in summer all the way into fall you really should consider the amount of sun they are getting.When big trees start putting on leaves they also soak up all the rain as well.So if they are under mature trees that is another point to consider.They may need a bit more water.
But if I were you,I would relax and wait until next season just to see what's up. Then you can decide from that point if they do not bloom. It is the gardener's hardest learned lesson....patience.
Good luck in your gardening endeavors and keep looking forward to the next season!
