Know before you buy
A bare root plant is shipped without soil around its roots, which helps the plant enter a dormant state for safer transit. Once you receive it, you simply soak the roots briefly and plant them directly into your garden soil or a container.
Yes, 'Night Beacon' is versatile enough to be planted in garden beds or near water features. If planting in water, ensure the crown of the plant remains above the water line to prevent rot while allowing the roots to access the nutrients.
This variety is a re-bloomer, meaning it naturally cycles through two distinct flowering periods. To support this, ensure the plant receives at least six hours of sunlight daily and remove spent flower stalks after the first spring bloom to encourage the plant to direct energy toward the fall display.
The 'Night Beacon' is highly cold-hardy and is rated for USDA zones 3 through 9. This means it can withstand freezing winter temperatures in most regions of the United States without needing special protection.
Daylilies are generally adaptable, but they perform best in well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Whether in a garden bed or a pond-side container, they prefer a spot that receives full sun to partial shade.
