60cm x 60cm
Growing Conditions:
Hemerocallis can tolerate a wide range of soil conditions and can grow happily in full sun or part shade. A well draining and fertile soil is best though.

Remove spent flower heads and older leaves to maintain a tidy appearance. Hemerocallis die down during the winter in colder climates before reappearing with fresh new growth in the spring.

· Makes a neat informal hedge or edge. Makes a neat front row to a Camellia or Hydrangea hedge.
· Mass plant in a shady corner or under trees for an easy care and colourful solution.
