Daylily 'Ver00322' Hemerocallis Everydaylily Red Ribs = 'Ver00322' (PBR) (Everydaylily Series)

Water

Daylilies like the Everydaylily Red should be watered thoroughly about once a week, allowing the soil to dry between waterings. During the growing season, especially if the weather is particularly hot or dry, you may need to water twice a week. Apply water directly to the soil to avoid wetting the foliage, using approximately 1 gallon of water per plant for each watering session. Ensure proper drainage to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. During the winter dormant period, reduce watering frequency as the plant's water requirements decrease.

Light

Daylilies, including the Everydaylily Red, thrive in full sun, meaning they prefer at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight each day. They can tolerate partial shade, particularly in the hottest parts of the day, but too much shade can reduce blooming. Choose a spot in your garden that gets ample sunlight for the healthiest growth and best flower production.

Temperature

Daylilies like the Everydaylily Red are quite hardy and can tolerate a range of temperatures. They grow best in temperatures between 60°F and 90°F but can survive in temperatures as low as 20°F and as high as 90°F. To encourage optimal growth, protect them from extreme heat or freezing conditions by providing mulch or shade during the hottest part of the day and insulation during winter if necessary.

Pruning

Pruning Daylilies like the Everydaylily Red helps remove dead foliage and spent flower stalks, which encourages reblooming and maintains a tidy appearance. Deadhead the flowers regularly to stimulate additional blooms. After blooming has finished for the season, cut back the foliage if it looks unkempt or damaged. The best time for pruning is in early spring and late fall.

Cleaning

As needed

Soil

The daylily (Hemerocallis) thrives in a well-draining soil mixture composed of garden soil, compost, and perlite or sand to increase aeration and drainage. The ideal pH range for daylilies is between 6.0 and 6.5, which is slightly acidic. Mulching can help to maintain moisture and provide nutrients as it decomposes.

Repotting

Daylilies, including the Everydaylily Red Ribs, typically don't need frequent repotting. They can be repotted or divided every three to four years or when the clump becomes crowded and the flowering diminishes.

Humidity & Misting

Daylilies, such as the Everydaylily Red Ribs, are adaptable to a wide range of humidity conditions and do not require high humidity to thrive; average outdoor ambient humidity is generally sufficient for their growth.

Suitable locations

• Indoor

  Place in bright, indirect light and maintain moderate watering.

• Outdoor

  Plant in well-draining soil with full sun to partial shade.

• Hardiness zone

  4-9 USDA

Life cycle

The daylily 'Everydaylily Red Ribs' begins its life cycle as a dormant rhizome or rootstock, which emerges in early spring. As temperatures increase, it produces strap-like foliage that forms a clump, and soon develops flower scapes that rise above the leaves. Throughout late spring and summer, it enters its flowering stage, with each individual blossom lasting only a day, yet the plant continually produces new buds for an extended bloom period. Post flowering, the plant sets seed pods if pollination has occurred; however, in cultivated varieties like 'Ver00322', propagation is often done through division rather than seeds. As the growing season ends, the daylily's foliage will die back with the onset of autumn and enter a period of dormancy during the winter. With the return of favorable conditions in the subsequent spring, the plant will re-emerge from dormancy and repeat the cycle.

Propogation

• Propogation time

  Spring to Summer

• The Hemerocallis, commonly known as daylily, is typically propagated through division, which is the most popular method for the Everydaylily Red Ribs. This method involves separating the plant into smaller sections, each with a portion of the root system. The best time to do this is in early spring or after the plant has finished flowering, usually in late summer to early fall. To propagate by division, carefully dig up the plant while trying to keep the root ball intact. Use a sharp knife or spade to cut the clump into smaller sections, ensuring that each section has at least one growing fan of leaves and a part of the root system. These divisions can then be immediately replanted in the garden at the same depth they were growing before, spacing them about 18 to 24 inches (approximately 45 to 60 centimeters) apart to allow room for growth. Water the newly planted divisions thoroughly to help establish them.
