Growing and Maintenance Tips for Hemerocallis 'Chicago Apache' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: Plant in early spring or fall. Soak roots for 3–6 hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots, form a small mound in the center, and drape roots over it. Set the crown about 1 inch below soil level and backfill firmly. Space 18 to 24 inches apart.
Location: Full sun is best (6+ hours daily), though light shade is tolerated in hot climates.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost if needed.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. Keep soil evenly moist during establishment, then water during dry spells—daylilies are drought-tolerant once established.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. No winter protection needed in most climates.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in spring and again after flowering. Avoid high-nitrogen formulas.
Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and yellowing foliage. Cut back to the ground in late fall or early spring.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3 to 5 years in spring or fall to rejuvenate and multiply.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Watch for aphids or rust in humid conditions—good air circulation helps.
