Splitting Daylilly's in spring

[Captain Tony]

Just realized I forgot to split and move these daylily's back in the fall to relocate them in a different spot where I want them. Can I split and move them now even though it's spring and they are just starting to come up?

I divided and replanted mine last week.
Yours look healthy, what colours are they?

Thanks for the reply! I'll move them this weekend. They are the yellow Stella D'oro

I have those and they happen to be one of the varieties I moved recently. Keep them well watered after dividing/replanting. My Stella D'oro are sulking at the moment (unlike my larger varieties) but that is a far cry from dying/drying out. They are just showing their displeasure. They flower later than my others so I'm not at all concerned about their sulking at this stage. Day lilies, I find, are a very forgiving plant and I adore them.

Just one word of caution ... I don't know: what temperatures do you have at the moment? My point being, I wouldn't have divided them if we were still getting frosts.

Our weather seems to have finally broken and we're staying above frost for overnight low temps. But will definitely take a closer peek before moving them.
