General Care

• Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 4–6 hours of direct sunlight daily for the finest blooms.
• Soil: Prefers well-drained soil enriched with organic matter to ensure consistent moisture without waterlogging.
• Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist during the growing season to promote vigorous flowering; a light, 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base helps regulate temperature and moisture levels.
• Mulching: Apply mulch around the clump, leaving a small gap at the crown to maintain healthy airflow.
• Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks to encourage a continual display of stunning blooms and maintain a tidy appearance.
• Containers: Adapts beautifully to containers, offering a delightful focal point on patios or decks.

Bela Lugosi Daylily adds a gorgeous, uplifting burst of color and refined texture to Michigan landscapes, making it an inspiring choice for those seeking a fresh and elegant perennial display.
