These particular perennial daylily plants are selected for their striking orange hue, which provides a warm and inviting presence in any outdoor space. They are an excellent choice for both novice and experienced gardeners looking for reliable, beautiful, and low-maintenance flowering plants.

Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your orange daylily bare root plants is straightforward, making them an ideal choice for gardeners seeking brilliant color with minimal fuss. Upon arrival, inspect the bare roots; they should feel firm. If planting isn’t immediate, keep them in a cool, dark place, ensuring they don’t dry out. Before planting, consider soaking the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Choose a location that receives at least 6 hours of full sun per day for optimal blooming, though they can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates. While adaptable, daylily perennial plants prefer well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Amend heavy clay soils with compost or peat moss to improve drainage and aeration.

Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots without bending them, ensuring the crown (where the roots meet the stem) is about 1 inch below the soil surface. Spread the roots out evenly in the hole, then backfill with soil, gently firming it around the roots to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil. During their first growing season, consistent watering is crucial to help the plants establish strong root systems. Once established, these easy care daylilies are remarkably drought-tolerant, but regular watering during prolonged dry spells will encourage more prolific blooming. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to support vigorous growth and flowering. Deadheading spent flowers will keep the garden tidy and may encourage additional blooms, while dividing clumps every few years can rejuvenate older plants and provide more plants for your garden or to share.
