Planting & Care

Where to Plant

Sunlight: This daylily performs best in full sun, requiring at least 6 hours of direct light to produce the highest quantity of its distinct, triangular blooms. While it can survive in partial shade, insufficient light will result in leggy foliage and significantly fewer flowers.
Soil: Plant in soil that drains well, as soggy roots can be fatal to this perennial. If you are gardening in heavy clay, mix in plenty of compost or shredded leaves to improve drainage and aeration, or consider planting in a raised bed where moisture levels are easier to control.

Watering Requirements

Keep the soil consistently moist for the first year to help the fleshy root system establish itself in your garden. Once established, this plant is quite drought tolerant, but providing about an inch of water per week during the blooming season will ensure the flowers remain large and the foliage stays lush without browning at the tips.

Pruning Tips

Remove the entire flower stalk, or scape, all the way to the base once all the buds on that stem have finished blooming to keep the clump looking tidy. In late fall after a hard frost kills the foliage, cut all the leaves down to a few inches above the ground to prevent pests and diseases from overwintering in the debris.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or a top-dressing of compost around the base of the plant in early spring as new green shoots begin to emerge. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers, especially late in the season, because they promote excessive leafy growth at the expense of flower production.

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.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Blooming best in full sun and handling afternoon/partial shade, Tiger Swirl is striking in the landscape! Perennial Daylily, provide it with partial shade or afternoon shade in the hottest climates, or full sun in cooler hardiness zones. Not particular on soil type, any well-drained medium works. Daylilies appreciate mulch to hold moisture in the soil. Average to dry soil these are extremely cold and drought tolerant, plus are tough and adaptable. Mother Nature can throw everything at Daylilies without phasing them. Add a 3-4 inch layer of mulch over the soil surface for best results!

You can easily deadhead the old blooms off as a quick task. Call it me time outside in your garden and you'll be rewarded with plenty of bright new blossoms. Daylilies are susceptible to rust and some other foliage diseases so for that reason it is very important to cut all of the foliage to the ground in late fall after the plants have been exposed to a couple of frosts. Every 3-5 years, it is recommended you divide the clumps to keep them growing vigorously.
