    Yes, you can deadhead daylilies. Whether or not they will rebloom depends on the variety. Some varieties bloom only one time while others will continue to bloom after deadheading.

    Apply a good fertilizer, such as Miracle Grow, along with epsoms salts. Mix two tablespoons of each per gallon of water, and feed every 2 weeks.

    Yes, it makes them neater and also helps with flowering. Apply a slow release fertilizer and they will continue to bloom all summer.
