Before planting
- Choose sun or light shade and well-drained soil that retains moderate moisture.
- Do not plant where cats have access. Pollen and water from cut flowers can also be dangerous to them.
Why choose it
- Its compact clump and yellow flowers suit the front of a border.
- It may flower again if growing conditions and the length of the season allow.
Care
- Water in prolonged dry spells, especially during bud formation and flowering.
- Remove spent flower stems and dead leaves once their season has ended.
- Overgrown clumps or those flowering poorly can be divided at a suitable time of year.
Good to know
- This cultivar is not evergreen in its usual seasonal growth cycle.
- Seek urgent veterinary help after suspected exposure of a cat to a daylily; do not wait for symptoms.
