Common Questions
Lake of Fire Daylily questions
What zones can Lake of Fire Daylily grow in?
Lake of Fire Daylily is hardy in USDA Zones 4–9. Inside that range it survives winter in the ground; outside it, grow it as an annual or a container plant you protect.

Does Lake of Fire Daylily need full sun?
Lake of Fire Daylily does best in full sun to part shade. In hot climates, afternoon shade keeps blooms fresher longer.
