Grow in fertile, well drained soil, in areas that will not dry out in summer. Prefers full sun, flowering is likely to be reduced in shadier situations. Water freely from spring to summer. See Hemerocallis cultivation for details.
Propagate by division in early spring or autumn, at least six weeks before the first frost. Propagate from seed sown in containers in a cold frame in autumn or spring.
Cut back flower stems after flowering has finished. Remove dead foliage as required.
May be susceptible to hemerocallis gall midge, aphids, glasshouse red spider mite and thrips. Slugs and snails may damage young leaves.
May be susceptible to rust. In climates with alternating winter frosts and thaws, bacterial leaf and stem rot (spring sickness) may be a problem; in areas with high temperatures and high humidity, crown rot may cause damage.
