As their common name suggests, each flower from this impressive plant only lasts 16-24 hr. However, this short-lived nature is hardly noticed as each plant develops new flowers that bloom daily across the flowering season. Flowering ceases in autumn and the plant will go dormant until the following spring once freezing temperatures arrive.

The Orange Daylily is known as a ‘perfect perennial’. It is drought tolerant, can withstand high levels of heat stress, is easy to maintain, and grows across most USDA Hardiness Zones. Given their robust nature, they can be grown using many cultivation methods.

Plant them directly in your garden as a border plant, in a raised bed with other perennials, or grow them in containers situated on your deck. These versatile perennials will brighten any location.

Landscape Uses and Maintenance - Orange Daylily (Hemerocallis Fulva)

Doing best in full sun, they will tolerate part sun as well. In regions with intense summer heat, require some shading. To keep the foliage green, water about 1 in per week. They prefer moist, well-drained soils with a slightly acidic to neutral soil pH.

Orange Daylilies are easy to maintain and do not have serious pest or disease issues. However, they can be susceptible to mites, thrips, or aphids and occasionally daylily rust, so keep your eyes peeled. To keep these flowers in optimum health, cut the stalk back to the ground once they have finished blooming. During the dieback in late autumn, remove dead foliage from the plant.
