Growing Tips

Planting Instructions:
Dig a hole deep enough to accommodate the roots without bending them. Roots should be just below the soil surface with the crown at the soil level.
Soil Moisture:
Any good well-drained garden soil.
Will Tolerate:
Loamy Soil
Pruning Instructions:
Cut back spent flower stems after flowering.

Winter Care:
Mulch in northern climates the first winter to prevent heaving when winter weather freezes and thaws repeatedly.
Planting Depth:
Top of plant should be just below soil level.
Watering Requirements:
The daylily only needs regular watering for the first year. After that, it becomes very resilient. If planted in extremely warm zones, supplemental watering may be necessary.
Fertilization Requirements:
Fertilize only once per year at the beginning of spring. Once established, the plant may not need fertilization every year.
