Homeowner Growing and Maintenance Tips:

For new plantings
1. Dig a hole one and a half times wider than the plant's container
2. Place plant in hole, keeping the top of the root ball ground level
3. Back fill with dirt
4. Water thoroughly and then mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weeds
New plantings require more frequent watering than established plants. Wind, temperature and soil are factors to consider in watering.
Feed plants in early spring and again in early fall with an all-purpose fertilizer, following label instructions.


Care Instructions
Daylilies should be planted in well-draining soil with plenty of sunlight. They require consistent watering, but be careful not to overwater as this can lead to root rot. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after flowering. Deadhead spent blooms to promote new growth, and divide clumps every few years to prevent overcrowding. Regularly inspect for signs of pests and diseases and treat accordingly. Daylilies are fairly low maintenance, but with proper care, they can produce stunning blooms year after year.
