Know before you buy
The Strawberry Candy variety produces a primary flush of flowers in early summer and then sets a second round of blooms in the fall. This provides an extended season of color compared to standard single-bloom daylilies.
Since these daylilies have a mature spread of 12 to 24 inches, you should space them about 18 to 24 inches apart. This allows enough room for the clumping habit to fill in without overcrowding.
No, this plant is toxic to cats. If you have curious pets that tend to chew on garden foliage, it is best to plant these in an area they cannot access.
These daylilies are rabbit-resistant, which helps protect them from common garden pests. However, they are not deer-resistant, so you may need to use deterrents if deer frequent your landscape.
Yes, this variety is highly adaptable and performs well in clay, loamy, or well-drained soils. Ensure the planting site does not remain waterlogged, as good drainage is still important for root health.
You should plant the bare root so that the top of the tuber is approximately 1 inch below the soil surface. Planting too deep can hinder growth, while planting too shallow may expose the roots to drying out.
