General Care
- Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 6 hours of direct or filtered light daily for optimal flowering.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist during the growing season to promote continuous blooming and robust clump formation.
- Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and maintain even soil temperatures, leaving a small gap around the clump for proper airflow.
- Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks to keep the clump tidy and encourage an extended bloom period. Divide clumps every few years to rejuvenate growth and maintain a refined appearance.
Rosy Return Daylily offers an inspiring and refreshing accent to Michigan landscapes, delivering a stunning seasonal display that captivates and uplifts all who see it.
