Water
Water weekly the first season. Established plants ride out dry spells but rebloom better with regular water.
Planting and soil
Plant in spring or early fall with the crown no more than 1 in. below the soil.
Feeding
A light balanced feed in spring.
Pruning
Remove spent flowers and stalks. Clean up the leaves in late fall or early spring.
Through the year
Leaves in spring, first flowers in late June, more flushes through late summer.
If something's off
Deer and rabbits eat the buds. All parts of daylilies are highly toxic to cats. Divide every 4–5 years if bloom slows.
Plays well with
Plant it with friends.
Why we stock it: A compact, reblooming daylily with a rich color you don't see often.
