I have a couple medium bush blueberries that were planted temporarily near some common daylily. I didn't think they produced fruit but low and behold, the birds didn't locate the ones growing hidden by the daylily leaves. I wonder if this is a strategy I can try when I shift them to their permanent location? Probably merely a day(lily) dream I know.  |

Why not? I'm hiding mine under 4 o'clocks!

I don't see why you can't keep it up when you move them. I would wonder if the lilies would get in the way of gathering berries though?

I don't mind trampling daylilies for blueberries.

I think it sounds like a charming combination. I put a couple of blueberry bushes in a new bed beside our home and think I should find someone with daylillies to divide here locally : )
daylillies having edible flowers and tubers might make them a sort of gourmet challenge in their own right : )

Can just imagine how pretty a plate you and your daughters might create, with blue-berries and pretty coloured daylily blooms!

Indeed! What the heck, I think you have inspired me to add at least a few (as long as root competition isn't an issue) intermixed with the blueberries!

ottawa, has the daylily gall midge made an impact on your growing of day-lilies?
