How to Grow
Light: Sun (> 6 hours sun) to part sun (4-6 hours sun). Light afternoon shade will keep brightly colored flowers from fading.
Water: Water plants during the summer if rainfall is less than 1 inch per week. Benefits from a thin layer of mulch in spring to retain soil moisture.
Spacing: 1.5 to 2 feet
Fertilizing: Avoid excessive fertilizing as this will inhibit flower production.
Winterizing: Can allow foliage to remain for the winter, then remove spent foliage in spring as new growth emerges.
Maintenance & pruning: Remove individual spent flowers and cut back flower stalks once all flowers are gone. Divide plants every three to four years as new growth begins in the spring.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
Plants arrived with most of the buds, broken off. Only one has bloomed. No further flowers seem to be growing. Very disappointing.

Smallest specimen I’ve ever seen! Hope it thrives!
We’re sorry you’re not satisfied with your plants! On each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young. The size of our plants varies depending on the time of year and whether they were recently trimmed. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. Trimming only encourages stronger root development! All orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please reach out to [email protected] to start the claims process if necessary.
Beautiful plants, arrived in perfect condition. Growing well.
Plants arrived healthy and look great.
Great packing (since our postman, laid it on it's side upon delivery). No problem. The plants arrived in very good & healthy shape. All plants are thriving in our Colorado arid environment. Will order again.
Ok I wanted to give Great Garden Plants the benefit of the doubt. I gave all the lily's (2 of these and 2 of another kind) I purchased from them a YEAR to get established before leaving a review. I've been waiting and waiting, enjoyed all my other lily's blooming (not purchased from GGP) but absolutely NOTHING from these. Not one single flower... ZERO...NADA! I actually got zero blooms from any of the Great Garden Plants lily's I purchased. I was so excited for these this year! Super Bummed!
Hello! We are sorry that you are not satisfied with your plants. Please email pictures of the plants to [email protected], making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible. We appreciate your feedback.
I ordered 4 Ruby Stella' Daylily and there was an issue. They replaced them with a smile. I love this company!
'Ruby Stella' Daylily
I ordered couple of lilies and allium plants and both arrived in great shape, we planted them in the ground and so far so good, can't wait to see them grow!
Plants were packaged with great care and shipping was lightning speed, have already recommended them to friends, thank you so much!
Arrived - packaged perfectly, in the ground looking good, can’t wait until next spring!
beautiful plants, growing nicely now- good job
The lily came with one bud that bloomed quickly and has not produced anything since. The lily was beautiful but the plant was so small. I am trying to keep it alive in hopes that it blooms next year.
Hello! Thank you for leaving a review. As mentioned on our website, we do ship young plants that vary in size depending on the type of plant purchased and the time of the year. Keep in mind, that when transplanting young plants from a nursery pot to a garden, the plant allocates more energy to root development instead of shoot development (above ground). It's important for them to develop a robust root system so they can actually absorb the nutrients and water in the soil around them. Then after their root system is more developed they'll invest in their shoots and flower development. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing and flowering vigorously. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online. We hope this helps. Happy Gardening!
The plants were small; but very healthy and packaged well. One even bloomed right away. I expect they will do very well.
Do you have other colors available too
Hello! We have several colors of daylilies. You can find those with the link below:
Can this daylily be planted in a pot for next year?
Yes you can plant this daylily on a pot for the first year. Be sure the container is a deep container and well drained. Here is our Blog on container planting.

Can these be planted in the fall in MN
Thank you for contacting us! The best time to transplant daylilies is after the final bloom in the fall. We ship until mid October for your area which fall is a good time to transplant.
I am looking for the plant itself and not just the roots. critters ate all I planted.
Hi! You're in luck because we sell young plants with strong, healthy root systems.
When will the dwarf daylilies arrive - approximately - zip 44141
