Hemerocallis thunbergii Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in most soils[1], including dry ones, preferring a rich moist soil and a sunny position[111] but tolerating partial shade[88]. Plants flower less freely in a shady position though the flowers can last longer in such a position[205]. Grows well in heavy clay soils. Succeeds in short grass if the soil is moist[1]. Prefers a pH between 6 and 7[200]. Hybridizes freely with other members of this genus[200]. Plants take a year or two to become established after being moved[200]. They increase by means of runners[205] and form loose spreading clumps[K]. The roots are not swollen[233]. 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]. The fragrant flowers are very short-lived, they open in the late afternoon and die in the morning[200, 205]. However, plants produce a succession of flowers for several weeks of the summer, each scape carrying between 4 and 20 blooms[205]. For further Hemerocallis thunbergii gardening information |
