#ProPlantTips for Care:
This hardy perennial is so easy to grow because Little Grapette Daylily isn't a diva! Just give it a sunny spot and well-drained soil and you will be rewarded with showy purple blooms all season. Provide moderate moisture once established and yearly fertilization, there's not much more to it! In the harshest conditions, or even the average garden bed, all plants appreciate a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch to insulate their roots, enrich the soil, and retain moisture.
After the flowers are spent, Deadhead the old flower stems as short as possible down to the ground for an occasional second round of blooms later in summer or fall. In fall after frost, it is recommended you remove the leaves to the ground to avoid diseases and rust issues overwintering and spreading next year. Divide your clumps every 3-5 years to maintain vigor.
- Best Flowering Full Sun
- Moderate to Low Moisture Needs Once Established
- Deadhead Regularly, Prune Late Fall & Divide Every 3-5 Years
- Cold Hardy, Xeric, Fire-Wise & Seldom Bothered By Deer
- Easy to Grow & Adaptable Plants
