Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Ensure this daylily gets at least 6 hours of direct sun daily to fuel its impressive reblooming cycle. While it tolerates partial shade, full sun guarantees the most intense lemon-yellow color and the highest flower count.
  • Soil: These perennials are adaptable but perform best in loose, well-draining soil. If your ground is heavy clay that stays soggy, amend it with compost or plant in a raised bed to prevent the fleshy roots from rotting.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist for the first season to help the root system establish itself. Once settled, 'Going Bananas' is remarkably drought tolerant, but regular watering during dry summer spells is the secret to keeping the blooms coming continuously until frost.

Pruning Tips

Remove spent flower stalks (scapes) all the way to the base during the growing season to keep the clump looking tidy and encourage new buds. In late fall, after a hard frost has killed the foliage, cut all the leaves back to a few inches above the ground to prevent pests from overwintering in the debris.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring just as new green growth begins to poke through the soil. Avoid heavy nitrogen applications late in the season, as this pushes soft, leafy growth that is easily damaged by winter cold rather than hardening off the plant.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

With a plant as sublime as Going Bananas, it's no surprise that caring for it is a true piece of cake! This perennial appreciates being planted in well-drained soil somewhere it can soak up the sun all day long. Going Bananas can handle partial shade, but it's happiest in full sun. Adding a 3-4 inch layer of mulch near the base is a great way to help control the moisture of the soil. It also keeps your garden nice and neat by keeping the weeds to a minimum!

To have as much flower power as possible, it's always a good idea to Deadhead the spent flowers. Select and prune out the flower stems close to the ground on stems where all flowers are finished blooming. Feel free to prune Going Bananas foliage back to about two inches in autumn after it's done blooming. Daylilies are susceptible to rust and some other foliage diseases so remove the foliage before winter prevents the overwintering of disease on the old leaves. You could also do this in the very early spring. Divide every 3-5 years to keep your clumps stress-free and growing vigorously.

  • Cold Hardy & Heat Tolerant
  • Loves Full Sun
  • Hardy in a Wide Range of Conditions
  • Moderate Moisture Needs - Low Once Established
