Hemerocallis are recognized as indispensible for 
the summer garden. By choosing both early 
and late varieties the season can be extended from 
_ spring until fall. 
They grow in any kind of soil but appreciate 
plenty of nourishment and moisture, though they 
are very drought resistant. While they will grow in 
shade they need sun for part of the day to produce 
blooms and do even better in full sun. As they do 
not require frequent division space them from two 
to three feet apart to permit increase in size of 
clumps. Mix some well rotted manure in the holes 
for planting or compost with a handful of bone meal 
added.
