NATURE ATTRACTION – The piece-de-resistance! You won’t believe the flower power of these re-blooming 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 have extended bloom time verses normal daylilies. Some just keep going for several months without a rest! Others will get new flushes of flowering all summer after just short periods of rest. The flowers fan out with numerous blossoms on each stem. Big, bold, and bright colors couldn’t be more pleasing with so little effort.
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 24-36 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 24-36 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 half 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.
