Hemerocallis 'Autumn Minaret'

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Autumn Minaret') is a stunning specimen that stands out in the garden. Its large, wide-open blooms of orange and yellow come to life in late-summer and continue through autumn, adding a burst of vibrant colour to any outdoor space. Growing up to 80cm high, Autumn Minaret tolerates most soil types, is drought tolerant, and does not require deadheading. Easy to care for, it prefers full sun and is often used for borders, mass planting, or in pots. A favourite among gardeners due to its hardiness and striking blooms, Autumn Minaret is a real show-stopper and an easy choice for any season.

watering

During the growing season, daylily (Hemerocallis 'Autumn Minaret') should be watered often to keep the soil consistently moist (but not soaked). Aim to water about once a week with enough water to thoroughly moisten the top 6-8 inches of soil. In hotter regions, you may need to water more often. Always check the soil moisture levels to make sure it's not too dry before adding more water. During periods of drought or excessively hot weather, it's important to water daylily deeply and frequently to support strong growth. When watering, allow the water to run slowly so it can penetrate deeply into the soil.

sunlight

Daylilies (Hemerocallis 'Autumn Minaret') should be planted in a location where they will get at least 6 hours of sunlight a day, although 8 hours is ideal. Morning sun is best, since it allows the plant to dry out from the dew that forms at night. While new daylily varieties are more tolerant of shade than older varieties, they still need direct sunlight to bloom and perform their best.

pruning

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Autumn Minaret') should be pruned twice a year. Pruning in early spring (March/April) will help to promote vigorous and compact growth, while pruning in midsummer (July/August) will encourage additional flowering. In both instances, remove any dead, damaged, or diseased foliage, as well as any bloom stalks that have finished flowering. Cut back the height of the plant by 6-12 inches and thin the foliage, leaving the larger, stronger leaves and stalks. This pruning will help to keep the plant tidy and looking its best.
