Know before you buy
Shipping as a bare root means the plant arrives without soil around its roots, which are kept dormant and moist. This is a standard, efficient way to ship perennials that allows them to establish quickly in your garden once planted.
While this variety is genetically predisposed to rebloom, you can encourage a second flush by keeping the plant well-watered during the heat of mid-summer. Removing the spent flower stalks after the first bloom cycle can also help the plant redirect energy into producing new buds.
Yes, Tuscawilla Tigress is highly adaptable and performs well in various soil types, including clay. As long as the area is not constantly waterlogged, these daylilies are vigorous enough to thrive in average garden conditions.
No, daylilies are toxic to cats if ingested. If you have curious pets that spend time in your garden, it is best to plant these in an area they cannot access.
Since these reach a mature spread of 18 to 24 inches, you should space them about 2 feet apart on center. This allows enough room for the clumping habit to fill in without overcrowding, which helps maintain good airflow.
Yes, this variety is specifically noted for its ability to tolerate humidity. It is a reliable choice for gardeners in warmer, humid climates who want a low-maintenance perennial that won't wilt under stress.
