Plant Care

Elegant Candy Daylilies are exceptionally easy to maintain and drought-tolerant once established. Remove spent blooms regularly to encourage continuous flowering and maintain plant appearance. In late fall, cut back foliage to about 6 inches above ground level. Divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain plant vigor and prevent overcrowding.

These hardy perennials are resistant to most pests and diseases, making them ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring when new growth emerges and again after the first round of blooming to promote healthy growth and abundant flowers.

Planting Instructions

Plant your Elegant Candy Daylily in spring or fall, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and just as deep. Position the crown (where the roots meet the foliage) at soil level or slightly above. Back-fill with soil, firmly pressing to eliminate air pockets.

Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture for the first growing season. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. Daylilies will establish quickly and begin flowering in their first season.
