Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your orange daylily plants is straightforward, ensuring a bountiful display of color with minimal effort. Plant your bare root daylilies approximately 1-2 inches deep, making sure the crown of the plant is just below the soil surface for optimal growth. They thrive in well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Amending your garden beds with compost before planting can significantly improve both drainage and fertility, providing the ideal environment for these perennials to flourish. These plants are remarkably adaptable and can tolerate a variety of soil conditions, but good drainage is key to preventing root rot.

Orange daylily plants prefer full sun, requiring 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce the most abundant blooms. However, they are also tolerant of partial shade, especially in hotter climates where some afternoon protection can prevent scorching. Water regularly, particularly during dry periods and throughout their establishment phase. While daylilies prefer consistently moist soil, it is important to avoid waterlogged conditions. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release granular fertilizer to encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage continuous flowering and maintain a tidy appearance. These easy to grow daylilies are generally pest and disease resistant, making them a truly low-maintenance choice for your garden.
