The Story
Plant Bio
Daylilies are rugged, adaptable perennials that produce a succession of trumpet-shaped flowers on leafless stems (scapes) above clumps of arching, grass-like foliage. Each flower lasts only a single day. 'Apricot Sparkles' is a dwarf, reblooming daylily known for its profusion of 3-inch, fragrant, apricot-colored flowers with a ruffled edge. Its compact size makes it ideal for borders and containers.

Planting
How to Grow
- Choose a site with at least 6 hours of sun daily.
- Loosen soil to a depth of 12 inches, adding compost.
- Dig a hole wider than the root mass.
- Create a small mound in the center of the hole.
- Spread roots over the mound, with the crown 1 inch below soil.
- Backfill, water thoroughly, and mulch to conserve moisture.
Pro Tip
For continuous bloom on reblooming varieties, deadhead spent flowers daily and provide consistent moisture and a mid-season fertilizer boost.

Care Guide
Do
- Water regularly during the first year to establish a deep root system.
- Divide clumps every 3-5 years to maintain vigor.
- Remove spent flower scapes after blooming is finished.
- Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring.
Don't
- Don't plant the crown more than one inch deep.
- Don't over-fertilize with nitrogen, which promotes leaves over flowers.
- Avoid letting weeds compete with the plant, especially when young.
- Don't assume they are deer-proof; deer often eat the flower buds.
