Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: Plant this daylily where it will receive at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure the most prolific bloom show. While it tolerates partial shade, particularly in hotter climates, too much shade will reduce flower production and color intensity.
Soil: These perennials adapt to most soil types but thrive in loose, well-drained soil rich in organic matter. If you are gardening in heavy clay or sandy soil, amend the planting site with compost to improve drainage and moisture retention.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist during the first season to help the fleshy roots establish, checking daily during heat waves. Once established, daylilies are quite drought tolerant, but consistent moisture during the budding and blooming season results in larger, more numerous flowers. If the plant undergoes drought stress, you may notice yellowing foliage and a significant drop in bloom count.

Pruning Tips

Remove the entire flower stalk, or scape, down to the base of the plant once all the buds on that stem have finished blooming to keep the clump tidy and encourage rebloom. In late fall after a hard frost turns the foliage brown, cut all the leaves down to a few inches above the ground. This annual cleanup removes potential hiding spots for pests and prevents diseases from overwintering in the debris.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a generous layer of compost around the base of the plant in early spring as new green shoots emerge. Avoid using high-nitrogen fertilizers, especially late in the summer, as this encourages excessive leafy growth at the expense of flowers and can leave the new growth vulnerable to winter damage.

Understanding Our Container Sizes

At Nature Hills, our plants are sold in industry-standard nursery containers. You will notice we use the word "container" rather than "gallon." Container numbers follow a nursery trade size standard, not liquid volume. The number tells you the plant's size category and general maturity level. A larger container means a more established plant with a stronger root system.

Container Sizes

Quart

Plant age: 6 months to 1 year
Best for: Ground covers, perennials, ornamental grasses
What to expect: Our smallest and most affordable size. Well-suited for planting in multiples across a large area. Allow 1 to 2 seasons for full establishment.

#1 Container

Plant age: 1 to 2 years
Best for: Shrubs, perennials, smaller trees
What to expect: About the size of a large coffee can. A well-developed root system in a manageable size. Good value choice when you have time to let the plant grow into the space over a season or two.

#2 Container

Plant age: 2 to 3 years
Best for: Shrubs and trees where you want faster establishment
What to expect: A noticeable step up from a #1 in both plant size and root development. Good choice when you want visible presence without going to a larger size.

#3 Container

Plant age: 3 to 4 years
Best for: Most plants, most situations — flowering trees, shade trees, evergreen shrubs
What to expect: Our most popular size. Strong, developed root system. Plants in a #3 container make an immediate visual impact from day one. If you want a head start rather than waiting seasons for a plant to fill in, this is typically the right choice.

#5 Container and Larger

Plant age: 4 to 5+ years
Best for: Specimen plants, privacy screens, maximum instant impact
What to expect: Large, mature plants ready to make an immediate statement in your landscape. We also carry #7 and larger sizes for select varieties.

Why "Container" and Not "Gallon"?

Nursery container sizes follow an industry trade standard established for the nursery and horticulture industry. The number is a size designation, not a measurement of liquid volume. Actual soil volume varies by plant type, root mass, and growing medium. Using "container" is the accurate industry term. When you see #1, #2, or #3, think of it as the plant's size tier, not a gallon measurement.

Root Pouch Containers

Some Nature Hills plants arrive in a Root Pouch, a breathable fabric container made from 100% recycled materials. Root Pouches encourage denser root development through air pruning, which discourages root circling and promotes a stronger, more fibrous root ball at the time of planting.

There are two types. Knowing which one you have changes how you plant:

Degradable (brown or tan fabric): Plant the entire pouch directly in the ground. The fabric breaks down naturally in the soil over time.
Non-degradable (black or gray fabric): Remove the pouch before planting. Cut the bottom open with scissors, then peel the sides away. The fibrous root ball will hold its shape.

Not sure which type you have? Check the tag on your plant or contact us and we will confirm.

The Proven Winners® Raspberry Eclipse Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Raspberry Eclipse') is a dazzling herbaceous perennial that turns heads with its rich raspberry-pink petals edged in a thin lemon-yellow margin, encircling a glowing yellow throat. This reblooming beauty bursts into bloom in mid-summer and keeps the show going with multiple waves of flowers. Each bloom carries a faint, sweet fragrance that draws pollinators like a magnet.

With its grassy, arching foliage forming tidy mounds, this Proven Winners® selection delivers both flower power and foliage texture to your garden!

Frequently Asked Questions

What planting zones is the Raspberry Eclipse Daylily hardy in?

The Raspberry Eclipse Daylily is hardy in USDA Zones 3-9, handling a wide range of climates from cold northern regions to warmer southern areas. This makes it one of the more adaptable perennials for most gardeners. Plant it in spring after your last frost date for best establishment.

Does the Raspberry Eclipse Daylily need full sun or can it tolerate partial shade?

Raspberry Eclipse Daylily performs best in full sun but tolerates partial shade well. Like most daylilies, it will produce more blooms with 6+ hours of direct sunlight daily. For optimal flowering in zones 3-9, plant in morning sun locations. Shop this Proven Winners selection at naturehills.com.

How often should I water my newly planted Raspberry Eclipse Daylily?

Water newly planted Raspberry Eclipse Daylilies daily for the first week, then reduce to 2-3 times weekly. Once established after 4-6 weeks, these hardy perennials are quite drought tolerant. Check soil moisture by inserting your finger 2 inches deep and water when dry.

What color are the Raspberry Eclipse Daylily flowers and do they have any special markings?

The flowers are raspberry-pink with thin lemon-yellow edges and a glowing yellow throat. Each trumpet-shaped bloom carries a light, sweet fragrance that attracts pollinators. Expect multiple waves of blooms from mid to late summer for extended color.

Is this daylily deer resistant or do I need to protect it from browsing?

Daylilies are generally deer resistant due to their tough, fibrous foliage, though hungry deer may occasionally browse them in late winter. The Raspberry Eclipse's hardy nature in zones 3-9 makes it a reliable choice for areas with deer pressure. For best results, plant alongside other deer-resistant perennials available at naturehills.com.

How fast does the Raspberry Eclipse Daylily grow and spread?

Raspberry Eclipse Daylily grows at a moderate pace, reaching its mature size of 2-3 feet tall and 1-2 feet wide within 2-3 seasons. The clumping root system gradually expands but isn't aggressive. Divide clumps every 4-5 years to maintain vigor and create new plants.
