- The pollen from one of the six daylily stamens, referred to as the pollen parent, is dabbed on the pistil of another daylily, known as the pod parent. (see sketch) The pollen, when ripe, is bright yellow and fluffy and will easily attach to the tip of the pistil, which is sticky. Although the actual pollination is really easy, every other aspect surrounding the process, is not. One of the hardest and first decisions is which daylily to cross with which daylily.

How to Determine Daylily Spacing When Planting If you are planting to propagate new plants or for an instant mass of color that will persist for 3 to 5 years, go ahead and plant each plant so its longest leaves will touch the longest leaves of its neighbors. Set miniature plants and small daylilies like Stella D’Oro an average of 8 to 12 inches apart from crown to crown. The original Stellas are a bit less compact than newer varieties, but most of them will form a dense mat if set 1 foot to 16 inches apart. Set medium-sized daylilies from 18 to 32 inches apart.

- A pumpkin plant's days to maturity depends on the variety. Look at the seed pack. It can range from 85 to 160 days so, for example, if you want pumpkins by Halloween, count back this many days. In the U.S., most folks plant between late May and late June to get pumpkins mature in time for Halloween. If you don't have manure, loosen the soil and mix in a 2- to 4-inch layer of compost. 2  Plant the seeds 1 inch deep into the hills (4 to 5 seeds per hill). 3  Space hills 4 to 8 feet apart. 4  Your plants should germinate in less than a week with the right soil temperautre (70 degrees F) and emerge in 5 to 10 days.

When planting pumpkin seeds—indoors or out—place seeds into soil one-half to 1 inch deep with the pointed end facing down.

cutting back foliage? It depends how close to the ground you cut them. When daylilies are sent through the mail, they are cut back to about 5-6, and when planted, they sometimes lose the original foliage, and new foliage sprouts from the crown. I don't know where you are in zone 5, but you should have a few weeks of growing weather left before the ground freezes, so maybe there's hope.
