Planting and Application:
Traditional sunny border plants, Daylilies add uniform beauty and texture as rows, garden borders, and by defining edges and graceful lining walkways and paths! They look lovely spilling over Rock Gardens and the edges of stone steps, and are the finishing touch cascading over the tops of retaining walls!
Pollinator and Perennial gardens are lovely sites, as are Cut Flower gardens! What's best is how easy this perennial is to care for and assimilate into your landscape big or small! From small containers and window boxes to hillsides and slopes as erosion control and mass plantings - Daylilies are perfect for both commercial and residential sites.
Create focal points around seating areas, birdbaths, outdoor sculptures and urns. Or encircle trees, pergolas and gazebos with lush greenery skirting their base. Use as facer plants to hide the leggy bases of larger shrubs, along the fronts of your foundation plantings, and to perk up a weary evergreen hedge!
Many people employ Daylilies by their driveways and roads, because of how tolerant they are to salt spray in the winter, and how wonderfully Xeric they are! Plus Daylilies are on many fire-wise landscaping lists.
These space-saving lovelies are even perfect thrillers in planters and containers around your porch or patio in the sun! Fill planting tubs, and container gardens too! Don't stress too much about where exactly to place this plant for the best effect!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Loving full sun and partial shade, Custard Candy shines either way! Not particular on soil type, any well-drained medium works for these perennials. Provide regular moisture until they are established, and once they are, Daylilies are drought tolerant. Though they appreciate a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch to keep their roots insulated and hold moisture in more regularly.
Deadhead as soon as the summer flowers finish removing the flowering stems to the crown and you will be rewarded with new flowers in fall. Daylilies can sometimes be susceptible to rust and other foliage diseases, so it is 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.
- Full Sun & Part Shade
- Cold Hardy & Heat Tolerant
