Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your strawberry candy daylily is straightforward, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all experience levels. These resilient plants thrive with minimal fuss, rewarding you with abundant blooms. For optimal growth and flowering, select a site that receives full sun, meaning at least six hours of direct sunlight per day. While daylilies can tolerate partial shade, too little sun may result in fewer blooms and less vigorous growth. Plant your reblooming daylily bare root in well-draining soil. Heavy clay soils should be amended with organic matter such as compost to improve drainage and aeration.

Watering should be consistent, especially during dry periods and when the plant is establishing. Aim for deep watering once or twice a week rather than shallow, frequent watering. Once established, this easy care daylily exhibits good drought tolerance, but regular moisture will encourage more prolific reblooming. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to support strong growth and abundant flowering. Deadhead spent blooms regularly to encourage more reblooming and maintain a tidy appearance. In colder climates, apply a layer of mulch in late fall to protect the roots. Hemerocallis are generally hardy in USDA zones 3-9, making this strawberry candy daylily suitable for most regions of the United States. Watch for slugs and snails, especially in moist conditions, and treat as needed.
