Damaged daylilles
My dog got in my daylillies and broke them down. It is just May, so what do I do? They are all laying on the ground. It looks awful in front of my house! Help!

No worries daylilies are one tough perennial. I would wait a few days to see if any of the leaves and stems are undamaged and then cut off all the limp and destroyed foliage. I would not be surprised if you find that your daylilies sprout forth with more fresh leaves and even blooms next months. Dogs are no match for this doggone delightful plant. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
