Product:
"Bela Lugosi" Daylily (Hemerocallis
"Bela Lugosi" Daylily
Large 5-6" velvety deep purple-black flowers with lime throats. Superior to H. Chicago Royal Robe. Blooms July. Height 30-35". Hardy Zone 2-9.
Site Location:
Plant in full sun or part shade. Daylilies are adaptable to many soil types, however they will thrive best when grown in a loose, loamy soil with good drainage. Adjust your soil's pH, (acidity level), to 6-7. In most maritime soils you will need to add some ground limestone to reach this pH level. In fall, or early spring, work in compost or well rotted manure. We also add a handful of fish meal, lobster meal or blood-bone meal to provide lots of nitrogen and phosphorus. Although daylilies will survive droughty conditions, you should be sure they are adequately watered if you want the best blooms.
Our Experience:
Daylilies can be divided in early spring or fall with relative ease. Dig the clump up and divide with a knife, or your hands if the clump is relatively young. Older, tighter clumps may require a shovel or axe to accomplish division. Water in the divisions well and mulch especially in fall.
