• NATURE ATTRACTION – The piece-de-resistance! You won’t believe the
flower power of these designer daylilies. They are durable, disease-resistant,
drought-tolerant, and heat and humidity loving. They are great for garden
borders and making fresh cut flowers. Attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
• KEY TIPS – Plants can take intense sun on the flowers and leaves. These
plants will bloom all summer and re-bloom in autumn if groomed periodically.
• SHELF LIFE – Plant into the garden as soon as the ground has thawed
enough to dig.
• PREPARATION - Remove each bare root from their plastic bag. It is best to
trim away yellow or brown leaves that may have occurred. Initial grooming
means more flowers on more vigorous stems.
• DETERMINING THE BOTTOM OR TOP OF CLUMPS – These clumps have
roots radiating from a central point or crown. These fleshy roots should be
put into the soil facing downward.
• GARDEN LOCATION – They like full sun. Dig holes twice the width of the
root ball and about 6-8 inches deep.
• POTTED PLANTS – These prefer to be placed directly in the garden as
opposed to pots or containers.
• SOIL PREPARATION – They will grow in just about any type of soil.
• PLANTING DEPTH and SPACING - Plant separately spacing about 18-24
inches. Dig holes twice the width of the root ball and about 6-8 inches deep.
Place them in their holes. Cover with an inch or two of soil and pack soil firmly
around crown.
• PLANT HEIGHT – They will grow about 18-24 inches tall.
• SPROUTING TIME - Sprouts in May after a couple weeks. In the ground it
takes a little longer if the temperatures are still cool.
• WATER - Water thoroughly upon planting and a couple times per week
thereafter all summer long.
• FERTILIZER – This helps maintain flower size and count from year to year.
For best results, use Roberta’s Flower Magic Plant Food (M7503) twice a
month all summer long.
• LIGHTING -Full sun is preferred though _ day is sufficient.
• BLOOMING – These plants will bloom early summer through late summer.
• TEMPERATURE ZONE 3 to 9- These are hardy down to a minus 40 degrees
below 0.
• WINTER DORMANCY – After the first frost, cut plants back to the ground.
Otherwise pull away old growth in the following spring by hand.
• PROPAGATING- They can be subdivided in late autumn or early spring
after 3-4 years. Just stick a shovel or trowel down between the clumps and
pull apart anywhere. They love it!
• GROOMING - These plants will bloom all summer and re-bloom in autumn
if groomed periodically. Simply cut away bloomed out stems after spent during
the summer.
• CUT FLOWERS - If you want to cut your stems for a flower vase, cut the
entire stem STAKING – Even with their tall flowers, the stems need no staking
• DEER RESISTANT – No. When deer do get a little nibble, do not worry. It
will not harm the plant as they begin to grow new leaf clumps immediately.
