Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Daylilies perform well in a wide range of well-drained soils, but prefer a deep, fertile loam. Deadhead spent flowers daily for neatness and remove scapes when flowers have completed bloom. Tolerant of summer heat and humidity, but appreciates deep watering in dry spells to keep foliage attractive. Daylilies should be divided to maintain vigor when the clumps become overcrowded.
‘Squash Tempura’ is a tetraploid daylily cultivar that features ruffled, yellow-orange flowers with green throats. Flowers appear on naked stems (scapes) that typically rise to 30” tall above a clump of arching, linear, blade-like, green leaves. Individual flowers open up for one day. Flowers bloom in midseason. Klehm, 2003.
No serious insect or disease problems. Daylilies are extremely adaptable perennials. They are easy to grow and virtually pest free.
Borders. Mass over large areas or grow in clumps. Fountain-like leaves provide elegant foliage, color and texture for the garden when flowers are not in bloom. Daylilies can crowd out weeds and form a verdant ground cover.
