Planting & Care
1. Planting: Select an area with full sun (anywhere that receives 6 to 8 hours of sunlight per day) for your Happy Returns daylily.
To plant in the ground, select an area with well-drained soil, dig a hole large enough to accommodate the root ball, then place your plant. Finally, backfill the soil and water the area to settle the roots.
To container plant, select a pot that’s about twice the size of your plant’s shipped container, use organic soil, and place your plant with the soil in its new pot. Ensure your new pot has drainage holes.
2. Watering: Generally, you’ll want to water your daylily about once a week. If you’re not sure when to water your plant, simply check the surrounding soil for dryness about 2 inches down.
3. Fertilizing: Apply mulch to a depth of about 2 inches in northern areas. Adding a slow-release fertilizer at the base of the plant’s root ball will encourage repeat blooms during the growing season.
4. Pruning: Daylily care involves annual pruning to remove dead foliage and flower stalks. You can deadhead spent flower blossoms to encourage re-blooming and maintain the desired size and shape. Cut back spent flower stems after the flowering period.
