WHAT SORT OF SOIL AND CLIMATE DO DAYLILIES PREFER?
We sometimes say that daylilies just need dirt and a water. They are very hardy. However they prefer a fairly sunny spot and appreciate good soil. They are fairly drought resistant but will give much better results if regularly fertilized and watered. They appreciate being mulched. Dormant daylilies will loose all the their leaves in winter and have been bred to survive very cold snowy winters. However most daylilies will grow anywhere in Australia. They also appreciate being well fed. Feed with Rapid Raiser, Dynamic Lifter or Osmocote once or twice a year. Use Sudden Impact For Roses in spring to boost flowering.
