50 Orange Daylily Bare Root Plants | Hemerocallis fulva Perennial Ditch Lily

Orange Daylily (Hemerocallis fulva) is a vigorous, easy-to-grow perennial known for its bright orange, trumpet-shaped blooms and arching, grass-like foliage. Often called the ditch lily or tawny daylily, it naturalizes readily and brings warm color to garden borders, mass plantings, slopes, and informal meadow-style landscapes. Each flower lasts only a day, but established clumps produce many blooms over a long season.

These bare root plants are a practical choice for gardeners who want dependable, low-maintenance color. Orange Daylily tolerates a range of conditions once established and pairs well with other perennials in mixed borders and cottage gardens.

Plant bare roots in prepared, well-drained soil with the crown set near the soil surface. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and water thoroughly after planting. Keep the soil evenly moist while plants establish, then reduce watering as they settle in.

Mulch lightly to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the crown. Remove spent flower scapes if desired and divide overcrowded clumps every few years to maintain vigor.
