How to grow
Cultivation
Grow in fertile, moist but well-drained soil preferably in full sun. Flowering is likely to be poor in shadier situations. Tolerant of heavy clay and poorer soils. May need watering in spring to early summer in dry conditions to ensure flowering. See Hemerocallis cultivation for details
Propagation
Propagate by division in early spring or early autumn. Propagate from seed (indoors or outdoors) in autumn or spring; cultivars will not come true from seed
Suggested planting locations and garden types
- Cottage and informal garden
- Prairie planting
- City and courtyard gardens
- Flower borders and beds
Pruning
Cut back flower stems after flowering has finished. Remove dead foliage as required
Pests
May be susceptible to aphids, slugs, snails, glasshouse red spider mite and thrips. This late-flowering cultivar is less susceptible to Hemerocallis gall midge
Diseases
Usually tough and reliable but may be affected by fungal leaf spot and rust diseases or bacterial leaf and stem rot
