Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your Red Volunteer Daylily bare root plants is straightforward, ensuring a spectacular display of flowers with minimal effort. These resilient perennials are known for their adaptability and hardiness. To ensure optimal growth and abundant blooms, choose a location that receives full sun, meaning at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. While daylilies can tolerate partial shade, full sun promotes the most vigorous flowering. Ensure your soil is average, moist, and, most importantly, well-drained. Daylilies do not like soggy feet, which can lead to root rot. Amend heavy clay soils with organic matter like compost to improve drainage, and sandy soils to improve water retention.

When planting your Red Volunteer Daylily bare root fans, dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots comfortably and deep enough so that the crown (where the roots meet the foliage) is about an inch below the soil surface. Space multiple plants 18-24 inches apart to allow for their mature spread. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil around the roots. Once established, daylilies are quite drought tolerant, but regular watering during dry spells will encourage more prolific blooming. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release granular fertilizer. Deadhead spent blooms to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage new flower production, though this is not strictly necessary for the plant’s health. This perennial red daylily is exceptionally hardy and will return year after year, providing continuous beauty with little intervention.
