Growing Tips & Maintenace
- Hemerocallis grow best in an average to moist, well-drained soil, in full sun or partial shade. Daylilies with very dark flower colours benefit from more shade. They are adaptable to many soil conditions, even heavy clay soils, and once established, will tolerate heat and drought. Prune the flower stalks down after blooming to improve the overall appearance and lengthen bloom time. They spread (some slowly, some more aggressively) by underground rhizomes. Easy to grow.
Additional Notes
- Introduced and has naturalized throughout most of eastern North America, to the point of being classed as invasive. Grow Me Instead recommends some alternatives. This author would add Asclepias tuberosa to that list. The name "hemerocallis" is derived from the Greek words for "day" and "beautiful," referring to the individual flowers lasting for about 24 hours.
