How to Grow & Care
Daylilies are generally very low-maintenance, hardy perennials. To get the most out of your Passion Perfection daylily: [1]
- Sunlight: Plant in full sun to partial shade. More sunlight typically yields a more abundant bloom. [1, 2]
- Soil: Prefers well-draining, fertile, slightly moist soil, but will tolerate a wide range of soil conditions. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist while establishing, then water deeply once a week during dry spells. They are quite drought-tolerant once mature. [1, 2]
- Maintenance: Remove spent flowers (deadheading) for a neat appearance and to encourage continuous blooming. Divide the clumps every 3 to 4 years to prevent overcrowding and maintain plant vigor. [1, 2, 3]
