Growing Daylilies

Planting and General Care

Daylilies (Hemerocallis) are hardy plants that are grown in every climatic zone in Australia. 
They can bloom for up to 6 months once established.  For best results, there are 4 golden rules:

Planting Position - Full sun, except inland areas where temperatures in summer average above 30 degrees

Mulch Annually - Cow manure and lucern hay applied during early spring, once fertiliser has been added

Weekly Watering - Once daylilies are established they will grow surprisingly well on little water

Fertilizer - Any good organic fertiliser prior to mulching in early spring, and also in late summer
 

Please Note: Daylilies begin to divide during summer once the main bloom period has finished.

Hot weather during summer may burn the daylilies' foliage thus effecting the daylilies rate of

dividing. Therefore, in areas with hot summers, plant daylilies in part shade, or afternoon shade.
