Growing & Care Tips
Daylilies are celebrated for their ruggedness and adaptability. To help your ‘Boundary in Gold’ thrive:
- Light: Plant in full sun (at least 6 hours daily) to partial shade. More direct sun yields the most vibrant colors.
- Soil: They prefer rich, well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0 to 7.0).
- Watering: Provide roughly an inch of water per week. While they are drought-tolerant once established, consistent moisture promotes the best growth and bud production.
- Maintenance: Deadhead spent blooms regularly to improve the plant’s appearance, and trim back dead or yellowed foliage late in the autumn. Divide clumps every 3 to 4 years to maintain plant vigor.
