PLANTING GUIDE
Soil: Easily grown in any average well-drained soil, but appreciates loose, rich soils if available.
Light: Full sun to light shade -- in areas with hot summers, 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 2-inch layer of mulch retains moisture and controls weeds
Spacing: 1.5 to 2 feet
Fertilizing: Avoid excessive fertilizing as this will inhibit flower production. One application of compost, rotted manure, or granular garden fertilizer in early spring is sufficient.
Winterizing: Very hardy, daylilies need no special treatment for winter. Foliage typically withers and blows away rapidly in autumn.
Maintenance & pruning: If you wish, remove individual spent flowers daily and cut back flower stalks once all flowers have finished. Divide plants every three to four years as new growth begins in the spring, lifting plants and dividing them into clumps. Replant or share or trade with your friends!Reviews
