About this plant
The Orange Daylily perennial is a showy midseason perennial well-loved by North American gardeners. Daylilies are native to Eurasia, but there are now over 60,000 cultivars, and they are commonly seen across North America.
This daylily produces huge flowers, reaching up to half a foot in width. The flowers are orangey-yellow, dusted in what looks like burnt orange blush across each petal. They grow to about 30 in in height and flower atop tall, bare stalks. They form clumps of gently arching, bright green sword-like leaves and develop colonies if allowed to spread.

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.
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.
Attractive to pollinators, prolific flowering, and hardy nature. With its impressive orangey-yellow flowers, this midseason perennial is a low-maintenance and hardy addition to your garden.
