Planting and Application:

Use the Daring Deception Daylily for specimen plantings, mid-border accents, and in mixed perennial gardens! Tough enough for Rock Gardens and lovely enough for the Cottage Border. Daylilies are well-known edging and garden fillers, spilling over the edges of garden beds, pathways, the tops of retaining walls, and as facer plants to hide leggy stems of larger trees and shrubs.

Planted together in large numbers en masse, they quickly crowd out weeds and make a carefree and colorful living mulch. Once established, the Daylily can be an excellent groundcover on slopes because it has roots that hold soil, preventing erosion. Turning a hard-to-mow hill into a favorite spectacle!

These two-foot tall and wide perennials are also fantastic focal points or specimen plantings in planters and containers on your sunny porch and patio! The grassy foliage spills over planter edges and the blooms shine in the sun, scenting the immediate area where they grow!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Blooming the very best in full sun, and appreciating a touch of afternoon/partial shade in hotter climates, easy-to-grow Daylilies thrive in almost any soil that is well-drained and enriched, but once established can handle occasional drought to wet soil conditions. Provide regular moisture when young and during the worst of drought for the prettiest foliage. Top dress with 3-4 inches of arborist mulch chips.

Deadhead to encourage rebloom, then trim the entire scape to the crown of the plant once all the buds are spent to clean up the mound. In late autumn after frost, remove all foliage to the ground and dispose of it away from the site to prevent rusts and diseases from overwintering. Divide in the early spring, about every 3-5 years to maintain vigor and flowering size.

The Daring Deception Daylily can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot, including, pollution, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in the winter, and under Black Walnut trees, as it is not affected by juglone.

• Tolerant of Full Sun & Afternoon Shade
• Adaptable in Any Well-Drained Soil
• Moderate Moisture - Low Once Established
• Prune Late Fall, Deadhead Regularly & Divide Every 3-5 Years
• Seldom Bothered By Deer, Rabbits, Salt & Pests
