HEMEROCALLIS - DAYLILY
— Daylilies will grow in full

and benefit from filtered shade in hot climates. Select a site with moist
well-drained humus-rich soil. Prepare soil to 1' depth, spread roots and allow
tip of crown to be less than 1" below soil level. Space plants 12" apart if the
miniature variety, 18-24" if a taller form. Water well and mulch; 6-8" winter
mulch should be used in northern areas to protect roots. Dormant forms are fully
hardy in USDA Zones 3-9. Evergreen types withstand temperatures below freezing,
but a prolonged or hard freeze causes tops to die back.
Please soak the root 2 hours or overnight if the plant has
become dry. The resilient roots store water and are drought tolerant, so they
will recuperate nicely. Plants frequently require an extra growing season to get
well established; however, you should see flowers the first year.
