Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Day-lilies do well in a wide range of well-drained soils, but prefer a deep, fertile loam. Deadhead spent flowers daily for neatness and remove scapes when flowers have completed bloom. Day-lilies should be divided to maintain vigor when the clumps become overcrowded. Tolerant of summer heat and humidity.
No serious problems. Day-lilies are extremely adaptable perennials. They are easy to grow, quick to multiply and virtually pest-free.
Garden Uses
Provides color and contrast to the perennial border when grown in clumps or when massed over larger areas. Also appropriate for the rock garden. The fountain-like leaves provide elegant foliage, color and texture for the garden when the flowers are not in bloom. Day-lilies can crowd out weeds and form a verdant ground cover.
