Is it true that perennials such as daylilies and coneflowers will choke underplanted bulbs such as daffodils?
It’s possible especially with the thickly matted roots of daylilies. But choking is not the main problem here. When it’s time to lift and divide either the perennials or the underlying bulbs, it’s difficult, if not next to impossible, to work with one without damaging the other. You can avoid this problem by using good spacing between perennials and spring bulbs. Contact Tim Morehouse by Web site: www.getmoregarden.com; mail: c/o Cincinnati Enquirer.
