During mid-summer, multi-headed flower scapes are crowned with profound orange trumpets that reveal the good-looking yellow throats and fascinate all modes of pollinators. It is not a fussy species since the herbaceous perennial plant thrives in rich and poor soils. It does grow from a mass of condensed roots that typically hold so many nutrients and moisture that the species can stay alive out of the ground for weeks. The survival classification is the primary reason he has been a world traveler.

Orange Daylily provides color and contrast to gardens, ditches, and fields when amassed or grown over a large area. It is effective in preventing soil erosion when planted on slants. A few upward-facing blossoms are borne at the topmost of the stem. The flowers are orange, unspotted, and funnel-shaped. Depending on the location, the blossoms start from June to early August. This is because it has several buds on every stem. For centuries, the buds have been used for food in Asia; however, the general public adores the flowers in North America.

Benefits of Planting Orange Daylilies in Your Landscape 

From eastern Asia, orange daylily has become a natural part of the landscape, including eastern Canada, the US, and most European nations. It is a common species and spreads rapidly by field and rhizomes into woods and roadsides. The growing period in the mid-summer usually lasts for a month, each flower lasting only a single day. The tender young leaves, flowers, and buds are non-toxic and eatable to humans. Lastly, White-Tailed Deer and Rabbits crop the young tender leaves in spring.

This Is How Your Plants Will Look upon Delivery

Planting bare-root perennials is best in any season if they are dormant; we only sell dormant plants. Planting them year-round is also excellent if you can get dormant perennials. When your bare-root perennials arrive, soak the roots in water for a few hours to rehydrate them. Lant by digging a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough to place the top portion crown (where the roots meet the stem) at or slightly above ground level. Position the plant in the hole, backfill with native soil, and gently firm the soil around the roots—water well after planting to settle the soil around the plant and eliminate air. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch to keep weeds at bay and moisture locked in, keeping the mulch away from the crown. Irrigate plants regularly during the first few weeks of drought; never water in full sun, and water late in the evenings to ensure the roots are established well. Fertilize sparingly in the first year, using a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in subsequent years as needed.
