Hemerocallis exaltata Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in most soils[1], including dry ones, preferring a rich moist soil[200, 205]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Succeeding in sun or shade, it produces more flowers in a sunny position though these flowers can be shorter-lived in very sunny positions[205]. Succeeds in short grass if the soil is moist[1]. Prefers a pH between 6 and 7[200]. This species is hardy to about -15°c[187]. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus[200]. Some roots are short and enlarged, others long with spindle-shaped tuberous ends. The plant forms a compact clump[233], but it also produces rhizomes that tend to spread[205]. Individual flowers are very short-lived, they open in the morning and wither in the evening[205]. Plants take a year or two to become established after being moved[200]. Plants seem to be immune to the predations of rabbits[233]. The plants are very susceptible to slug and snail damage, the young growth in spring is especially at risk[200].
