This hardy perennial gives color to the flower 
garden during the late summer and early autumn 
months. The flowers vary in color from a lemon- 
yellow to a reddish orange and these colors blend 
nicely with autumn foliage. Most of them are 
decidedly fragrant. 
After Hemerocallis becomes established, it 
thrives almost anywhere and in almost any kind of 
soil. The clumps grow larger from year to year 
and should be planted from 18 to 24 inches apart. 
The plants should be divided and replanted every 
third year. They seem to do equally well in full 
sun or partial shade. They stand moist locations 
and do nicely on the edge of a pool. 
By using a selection of early, midseason, and 
late varieties, the blooming season can be spread 
from late May to the middle of Septemher. 
Applications of well-rotted cow manure should 
be spread about the plants and worked into the 
soil in the spring. Mulch lightly with straw for 
winter protection.
