Pardon Me Daylily Additional Information
Pardon Me Daylily produces deep red to cranberry-red flowers accented by warm golden-yellow throats. Each bloom lasts about a day, as is typical for daylilies, but established plants produce multiple buds over the bloom period for a showy seasonal display. Flowering generally occurs in summer, with rebloom possible when plants are healthy and growing in favorable conditions.
The narrow, arching foliage forms a tidy green clump that adds texture before and after flowering. Pardon Me Daylily is deciduous in cold-winter climates, dying back after frost and returning from the crown in spring. Use it in sunny borders, mass plantings, cottage gardens, curbside beds, slopes, or along walkways. Removing spent flower stalks keeps the plant looking neat, while dividing mature clumps every few years can refresh vigor and maintain strong flowering.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant Pardon Me Daylily in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil. Set the crown near soil level, spread the roots gently, backfill, and water thoroughly after planting.
2. Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season while roots establish. Mature plants handle average garden conditions well, but consistent moisture during dry stretches supports fuller foliage and better flowering.
3. Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks after bloom for a cleaner appearance. Cut back old foliage after frost or in early spring before new growth begins.
4. Spacing: Space plants about 18 to 24 inches apart for good air movement and room for clumps to mature. Divide established clumps when flowering decreases or the center becomes crowded.
