Daylily - Caribbean Coral - Sale Price: $49.95 The Daylily 'Caribbean Coral', Hemerocallis 'TP 06-14', is an early-blooming daylily with bright orange blooms on a more compact plant. It has a long blooming season, and its multiple flowering cycles are perfect for mass plantings and perennial beds. The compact grass-like foliage is Rust resistant and it matures to 15-18 inches tall. Use as an accent plant, in borders or in mass plantings; grows well near water gardens and ponds. Daylilies can be planted as single plants when you are doing a mass planting, or in groups of 2 or 3 together which form clumps. Good soil health is a key factor in growing great daylilies. Daylilies do best with a pH between 6.5 and 7 (neutral to slightly acid). In most cases, increasing the organic matter in your soil will go a long way toward bringing your soil's pH into the proper range. Daylilies grow best when planted in full sun to partial shade . In areas that receive less than 6 hours of sun during the day, your daylilies will probably produce fewer and smaller blooms, and the foliage may not be as robust. |
