Desert Flame Daylily

Plant in spring or fall in fertile, well-drained to average soil, spacing 18–24 inches apart. Desert Flame is a daylily with vivid, warm orange-red flowers with a bright yellow throat — a classic, hot-colored combination that glows in the summer garden. Daylilies are highly adaptable and establish easily. Incorporate compost into the planting area and water well.

Deadhead spent blooms daily for the neatest appearance. Divide every three to four years when flowering declines and clumps become crowded. Late summer or early fall is the best time to divide. Fertilize in spring with a balanced fertilizer. Water during extended dry spells. The vivid orange-red flowers pair beautifully with deep purples, blues, and bronzes in the summer garden. Reliable, vigorous, and easy to grow — a classic daylily color combination.
