How To Divide Daylilies Daylilies should be divided at least every few years in order to keep them blooming well. After a while the roots become overgrown and hinder the plants’ ability to produce as many flowers. They should be divided in the late summer or fall, after they have finished blooming for the season. The typical method of dividing daylilies is to dig up the whole plant, cut it into two to four sections with a spade or knife, and replant those groupings individually.
