The Story

Plant Bio

Hemerocallis are tough, clump-forming perennials with arching, linear leaves. Leafless stems (scapes) rise above the foliage in summer, bearing showy flowers, each of which lasts only a day. Many cultivars are available in a wide range of colors and forms. This cultivar is renowned for its striking bright orange blossoms and reliable, extended flowering period, making it a popular choice for borders and perennial beds.

Common Questions

Daylily questions

What zones can Daylily grow in?

Daylily is hardy in USDA Zones 4–10. Inside that range it survives winter in the ground; outside it, grow it as an annual or a container plant you protect.

Is Daylily deer resistant?

Not reliably. Deer may browse Daylily, especially tender spring growth — plan on repellents or fencing where pressure is high.

When does Daylily bloom?

Daylily typically blooms in mid-summer through late summer. Exact timing shifts a week or two with your zone — Sow's bloom calendar maps it to your garden.

Does Daylily need full sun?

Daylily does best in full sun to part shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade keeps blooms fresher longer.

Is Daylily drought tolerant?

Yes — once established (usually after the first full season), Daylily handles dry spells with minimal watering. Water deeply its first year to build the root system that makes that possible.
