Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Aztec Gold Daylily bare root plants is remarkably simple, contributing to their popularity. With just a few basic guidelines, you can ensure a spectacular display year after year. These resilient perennial daylily plants thrive with minimal intervention, making them a joy to grow.

For optimal growth, plant your ‘Aztec Gold’ Daylilies in a location that receives at least 6 hours of full sun per day. While they can tolerate partial shade, full sun encourages the most abundant blooms. The soil should be well-draining and rich in organic matter. Amend heavy clay soils with compost to improve drainage, and sandy soils to enhance water retention. Plant the bare roots with the crown (where the roots meet the foliage) at or just below the soil surface, spreading the roots out in the planting hole. Space plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for mature growth.

Water regularly after planting until the daylilies are established, typically for the first few weeks. Once established, they are quite drought-tolerant but will perform best with consistent moisture, especially during dry spells and flowering periods. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release granular fertilizer to support vigorous growth and abundant blooms. Deadheading spent flowers can encourage more blooms and maintain a tidy appearance. Division every 3-5 years in spring or fall can rejuvenate crowded clumps and improve flowering. These easy care daylilies are generally hardy in USDA zones 3-9, tolerating a wide range of climates.
