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.

How To Grow
How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Perennials, Tubers, and Bulbs
Bare root perennials, tubers, and bulbs are an easy and economical way to jumpstart your garden with lasting beauty. These dormant plants should be planted in early spring or fall while the soil is cool and workable. Before planting, soak bare roots in water for 1–2 hours to rehydrate them. Choose a location based on the plant’s light needs—most flowering types prefer full sun, while others thrive in partial shade.
For bare root perennials, dig a shallow hole and spread the roots out naturally, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface. For tubers and bulbs, plant with the pointed side facing up at a depth about two to three times their height. Cover with soil, gently press down, and water thoroughly.
Keep soil consistently moist (not soggy) until new growth appears. Add mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds, but avoid covering the crown or bulb tops. Once established, these plants require little maintenance—just seasonal watering, occasional dividing, and deadheading or pruning as needed. With proper care, they’ll return and thrive year after year.
