Care Instructions
Orange daylily is easy to maintain, which is one reason it remains one of the best flower choices for practical home gardeners. Spent flower stems can be trimmed back after blooming, and old foliage should be removed in late fall as the plant dies back for dormancy. Plants usually do not need dividing for several years, but clumps can be split in fall or early spring when you want to refresh growth or expand your planting. One honest note: each bloom lasts only about 16 to 24 hours, but the plant keeps producing new flowers so the display continues through the season.
