Daylilies are one of the most versatile perennials available as well as one of the most beautiful.
Daylilies tolerate and grow in many conditions but perform best under the following conditions.
For best performance and bloom, full sun is required. Some reds and dark purples will hold their color better if shaded during the hottest part of the day. But, as with any type of annual or perennial, a good prepared soil will make your daylilies thrive. For best results, daylilies like a good garden soil with a pH of 6 to 6.5. If your soil is clay you can improve it by tilling in 3 to 4 inches of compost and composted manure and 3 inches of coarse builders sand.
