Daffodils and daylilies are perfect partners because their leaves are nearly identical. After the daffodils finish their splendid spring show, their dying leaves aren't such an appealing sight. The daylilies grow up and over the daffodils, completely disguising the daffodil's fall from grace. In midsummer, the daylilies put on their own magnificent show. Fall is the time to plant daffodils for their spring show.
