The Story
Plant Bio
Hemerocallis species are clumping herbaceous perennials native to temperate and tropical Asia, characterized by arching, grass-like foliage and short-lived lily-like flowers. Each individual bloom opens for only a single day or night, but mature clumps produce a continuous succession of flowers on tall, leafless scapes over several weeks.
'Majestic Move' is a robust tetraploid cultivar distinguished by its large, six-inch yellow-pink flowers featuring exceptionally thick, heavily ruffled tepals and a green throat. The strong, candelabra-branched scapes support a heavy bud count that yields a primary midsummer bloom followed by a second flush in late summer.

Planting
How to Grow
- Select a planting site that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily and has well-drained, loamy soil.
- Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and amend the backfill soil with organic compost to improve nutrient retention.
- Set the plant so the crown rests no deeper than one inch below the soil surface.
- Water thoroughly immediately after planting to settle the soil, and maintain consistent moisture until the root system is established.
Pro Tip
Plant in full sun to maximize flower production, as deep shade results in lush foliage but few to no blooms, and divide the clumps every three to four years to prevent overcrowding and maintain reblooming vigor.

Care Guide
Do
- Deadhead spent blooms daily to keep the plant tidy and encourage the development of remaining buds.
- Cut back dead foliage to ground level in late winter or early spring before new green shoots emerge.
- Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer around the base of the plant in early spring as new growth begins.
Don't
- Do not plant in poorly drained or waterlogged soils, which quickly leads to crown and root rot.
- Do not allow cats access to any part of the plant, as all Hemerocallis species are highly toxic to felines.
- Do not prune or cut into living, green fleshy stems during the active growing season.
