I empathize. I am currently waging a losing battle against daylilies--the only way to get rid of 'em is to dig 'em up. In one patch of lilies, about 24 square feet, I dug up well over ten thousand bulbs. The bulbs have packed in so tight, it is like digging through concrete.

And I only have about 400 square feet left to go through!

Oh, your post is soooo timely! I was looking out at the back corner of my yard....I'd planted some wildflowers back there a couple years ago and they've not returned. And I thought, "Oh, wouldn't daylillies be lovely back there?"

Guess not! I knew they reproduced at a pace that rabbits would envy, but had no idea it was a plague! Best of luck in your battle!

Can I have them??! Seriously!

Daylillies or Tiger Lillies
Days have a value Tigers are junk......

I am having the same problem with my daylilies. I already donated gazillions to a school planting project (and THEY did the digging, hee!). Now I have another patch to clear, and am seeking another organization looking for free plants (the only cost is that they do the removal). Then I have to get rid of snow on the mountain and irises galore. Apparently I have a knack for choosing highly invasive perennials, LOL!
