Common Questions
Our Choice Daylily questions
What zones can Our Choice Daylily grow in?
Our Choice 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 Our Choice Daylily deer resistant?
Not reliably. Deer may browse Our Choice Daylily, especially tender spring growth — plan on repellents or fencing where pressure is high.
When does Our Choice Daylily bloom?
Our Choice 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 Our Choice Daylily need full sun?
Our Choice Daylily does best in full sun to part shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade keeps blooms fresher longer.
Is Our Choice Daylily drought tolerant?
Yes — once established (usually after the first full season), Our Choice Daylily handles dry spells with minimal watering. Water deeply its first year to build the root system that makes that possible.
