Flowering Plants

Day Lily

Hemerocallis hybrids

Each individual flower lasts one day — hence the name — but an established clump carries so many buds that it stays in continuous flower from May well into August. Between flushes the arching, strap-like foliage is a good structural filler in a border.

Day lilies are the toughest flowering perennial we sell. They handle heat, poor soil, irregular watering and division at almost any time of year, and they multiply steadily so one clump becomes five within a few seasons.

  • Continuous flowering from May to August on an established clump
  • Genuinely tough — handles heat, poor soil and irregular water
  • Multiplies steadily; divide every few years and replant

How to look after your Day Lily

Written for Pakistani conditions — long hot summers, dry winter air, and hard tap water. Follow this rather than advice written for a temperate climate.

Light
Full sun to light shade, depending on species. More sun means more flowers.
Water
Regularly while in active growth and flower. Reduce sharply once foliage yellows and the bulb enters dormancy.
Humidity
Ambient.
Soil
Free-draining soil enriched with compost. Bulbs sitting in wet soil rot.
Feeding
High-potassium feed while in growth. Feed after flowering too — that is when next year’s flower is built inside the bulb.
Temperature
15–40°C in growth.

If something goes wrong

Leaves but no flowers

Why it happens: Bulb too small, overcrowded, or planted too deep.

What to do: Lift and divide the clump after dormancy, and replant with the neck at soil level.

Soft, mouldy bulb

Why it happens: Waterlogged soil.

What to do: Improve drainage before replanting. Discard any bulb that is soft to the touch.
