Plant Care & Growing Tips

To ensure your double orange daylily bulbs thrive and produce abundant, beautiful blooms, follow these essential care and growing daylilies tips. Daylilies are remarkably forgiving plants, but providing optimal conditions will maximize their performance. They prefer a location with full sun to partial shade. Full sun (at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day) will promote the most prolific flowering. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can protect the vibrant orange blooms from fading and scorching. If you’re wondering about hemerocallis cultivation, remember that good light is key.

When it comes to watering, daylilies prefer consistently moist soil, especially during their active growing and blooming periods. However, they are quite drought-tolerant once established. Water deeply once or twice a week, rather than frequent shallow watering, to encourage deep root growth. Ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent root rot. For soil, daylily bare roots perform best in rich, well-drained loamy soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0-7.0). Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter like compost or peat moss to improve drainage and aeration. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release granular fertilizer to support vigorous growth and flowering. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage more flower production and maintain a tidy appearance.

Daylilies are generally hardy and resistant to most pests and diseases. Monitor for common garden pests like aphids or thrips and treat with organic insecticidal soap if necessary. Divide clumps every 3-5 years in early spring or fall to maintain plant vigor and improve flowering. This also provides an opportunity to expand your collection of stunning orange perennial flowers. These daylilies are typically hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, tolerating a wide range of temperatures. Protect newly planted bare roots with a layer of mulch in colder zones for their first winter.
