HEMEROCALLIS CHARLES JOHNSTON
Grower Notes:

Hemerocallis 'Charles Johnston' is commonly referred to as Charles Johnston Daylily. Early to mid-summer blooms of large, lightly ruffled, cherry red flowers with showy lemon-yellow throats. Flowers attract butterflies and hummingbirds. Excellent rebloom performance!

Daylilies are easy to grow, making them a low-maintenance favorite for gardeners. For the best performance, plant them in a spot that receives at least six hours of full sun each day, though they can tolerate partial shade, especially in hotter climates. While adaptable to most soils, they thrive in rich, well-draining soil amended with organic matter like compost. Water newly planted daylilies regularly to help them get established and aim to provide about one inch of water per week during active growth or dry spells to encourage robust blooming.

To keep your plant tidy and encourage continuous flowering, deadhead spent blooms daily and cut back the entire flower stalk (scape) once all buds have finished. Finally, if flowering diminishes, divide overcrowded clumps every few years, ideally in early spring or fall, to revitalize the plant's vigor.
