TUSCAWILLA TIGRESS DAYLILY

Hemerocallis 'Tuscawilla Tigress' is a reblooming daylily that boasts large, bright orange flowers with a dark orange halo above a chartreuse throat. Blooms attract butterflies, hummingbirds and other beneficial pollinators. It flowers in early summer and again in mid to late summer. It is noteworthy for being a night-bloomer, opening late in the afternoon and staying open throughout the evening until morning. It is beneficial to remove spent blooms and seedpods to improve appearance and encourage rebloom.

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.
