Hemerocallis Mix – A Colourful Collection of Easy-Care Daylilies

The Hemerocallis Mix, commonly known as a daylily mix, offers gardeners a vibrant and varied selection of these beloved perennials. With their strap-like foliage and tall flowering stems topped with bold, trumpet-shaped blooms, daylilies bring life and colour to the summer garden. This mix may include a range of colours – from cheerful yellows and fiery oranges to rich reds and soft pastels – ensuring a dazzling, ever-changing display throughout the flowering season.

Each flower lasts just a single day, but with numerous buds produced on each stem, the clumps bloom over several weeks, offering a reliable succession of colour. Hardy, low-maintenance, and long-lived, a Hemerocallis Mix is the perfect choice for borders, beds, and containers, adding vibrancy and structure with minimal effort.

Care Guide

Daylilies are renowned for being resilient and forgiving, making them ideal for both experienced and beginner gardeners.

Planting

• When to plant: Best planted in spring or autumn, though container-grown plants can be planted any time of year.

• Depth & spacing: Plant crowns just below soil level; space 45–60cm apart to allow for clump expansion.

• Preparation: Work in compost or well-rotted manure before planting to improve fertility and structure.

• Containers: Choose large pots with moisture-retentive compost to accommodate their clumping habit.

Watering & Feeding

• Water regularly after planting to help establish roots.

• Once established, they are relatively drought-tolerant but perform best with consistent moisture during flowering.

• Feed in spring with a balanced fertiliser, and apply a high-potash feed before flowering to encourage more blooms.

Pruning & Maintenance

• Remove spent blooms daily to keep plants tidy and encourage more flowers.

• Cut flowering stems down to the base once they are finished.

• In late autumn, cut back old foliage to ground level; fresh growth will return in spring.

• Divide clumps every 4–5 years to rejuvenate plants and prevent overcrowding.

Protection

• Fully hardy, requiring no winter protection.

• Virtually pest- and disease-free, though slugs may attack young shoots in spring.

• Adaptable to a wide range of conditions and very reliable once established.
