Tips for Care:

These herbaceous perennials require little maintenance throughout the year to keep performing their best. Daylilies are some of the easiest plants to grow and are a great choice for any gardener. The plant prefers full sun with at least 8 hours of direct sunlight for the best performance. They will grow in almost any soil and handle drought to wet soil conditions. Add a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch over the soil surface for best results!

Spent blooms can be deadheaded, then remove entire stems once all the buds are done to keep the plants reblooming. Daylilies are susceptible to rust and some other foliage diseases so for that reason it is very important to cut all of the foliage to the ground in late fall after the plants have been exposed to a couple of frosts. Removing the foliage before winter prevents the overwintering of disease on the old leaves so it is best to always clean them up and dispose of the old foliage each year. Every 3-5 years, it is recommended you divide the clumps to keep them growing vigorously.

• Best in Full Sun
• Adaptable in Any Well-Drained Soil
• Moderate Moisture – Low Once Established
• Prune Late Fall, Deadhead Regularly & Divide Every 3-5 Years
• Seldom Bothered By Pests, Disease, Deer, Salt & Clay Soil
• Cheerful yellow blooms and sweet fragrance, the Chicago Sunrise Daylily will brighten your landscape for years to come!
