Daylily Ground Cover planting Eenie Joy (Eenie Weenie)

This planting bed has a previously established Daylily clump at the left and a clump of Siberian Iris at the right. Eenie Joy was interplanted in mid April, and is seen here in early June. Plantings in summer and fall are also fully successful.
	Eenie Joy was planted as 1-fan plants informally spaced at about one foot apart. The number of square feet in the bed is roughly equivalent to the number of plants desirable as a Ground Cover. (2 months).
By mid-September each Eenie Joy plant has grown into a 2-3 fan clump. Fall leaves cover the ground now. No mulch is needed for winter protection.
	Foliage of the older clumps and the new Eenie Joy Ground Cover is blending together, but will turn yellow, and brown, following hard frosts in coming weeks. (5 months).
The following Spring there is a surge of new growth in the bed, including some weeds. Kaylee Merrithew is weeding our bed in late May to allow the Eenie Joy Ground Cover to take over.
	Weeding may be necessary two or three times during the summer. (13 months).
As the Eenie Joy Ground Cover matures it makes an attractive mound of low grassy foliage throughout the planting bed. Here, we see it 12-14 inches high at the edge of a lawn.
	Eenie Joy's period of bloom here in Connecticut is from mid-June through the month of July. In some years it has also bloomed intermittently through August and September. (16 months).
