I didn't see any answers to this question.  Basically, I wait until the =
scape the prolif. is on is turning brown.  Often, by this time, the =
prolif. will already have some roots sticking out from its base.  Remove =
the prolif. and pot up in a light soil mix, keeping soil moist. =20
Since it is usually late in the season by the time you can root the =
prolif., you may want to overwinter it in a sunny window and plant it =
out in spring.  Good luck!

  Hi,

  I have some daylilies that have proliferations growing from the bract
  part of the flower scape. I have been told that these proliferations
  can be planted and will result in an exact duplicate of the original=20
  plant. Anybody have any luck with this? If so, when should I cut them=20
  from the scape and how should I root them?

  Thanks,
