Light

Full sun for the most flowers. It takes light afternoon shade.

Water

Water weekly the first summer. Established plants handle dry spells, but rebloom is better with water.

Planting and soil

Plant in spring or early fall with the crown no more than 1 in. deep.

Feeding

A balanced feed or compost in spring.

Pruning

Remove spent scapes. Cut or pull dead leaves in fall or early spring.

Through the year

Leaves in spring. Main bloom in July. Rebloom later in summer.

If something's off

Daylilies are highly toxic to cats; even a little pollen or leaf can cause kidney failure. Deer eat the buds. Aphids and thrips sometimes in hot weather.

Plays well with

Plant it with friends.
