Pardon Me

Pardon Me Daylilies are admired for their rich, burgundy-red blooms and easy care. To plant these bulbs, select a sunny spot with well-draining soil. Space them 18-24 inches apart and plant them 1-2 inches deep. Water them thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture throughout the growing season.

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring and fall for optimal growth. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms and remove any yellowing foliage. Mulch the area to retain moisture and suppress weeds. In colder climates, add an extra layer of mulch for winter protection.

The best time to plant Pardon Me Daylily bulbs is during the spring or fall. Planting in spring allows the bulbs to establish a strong root system before the hot summer months, while fall planting gives them a head start for the following growing season.

Ensure the bulbs are planted in well-draining soil to prevent rot. If planting in fall, do so at least 4-6 weeks before the first hard frost to give the bulbs enough time to settle in.

If planting in spring, do this approximately 4 weeks before the last fros has passed

Pardon Me Daylilies typically reach a height of 18-24 inches, making them a compact daylily variety. Their dark green, arching foliage creates a striking contrast with the deep red flowers.

These daylilies bloom from mid to late summer, offering a continuous display of color for several weeks. Each flower lasts for one day, but the plant produces numerous buds on each stem to maintain a vibrant display throughout the blooming period.

While Pardon Me Daylilies are not completely deer-proof, they are considered deer-resistant due to their strong fragrance and slightly toxic foliage. Deer tend to avoid daylilies, but in areas with high deer populations or limited food sources, they may still browse on the plants.

To further protect your daylilies, consider implementing additional deer deterrents such as fencing, repellents, or planting other deer-resistant plants nearby.

Yes, Pardon Me Daylilies can be grown in containers, making them a versatile option for gardeners with limited space or those who want to add a touch of color to their patio or balcony. Choose a container with drainage holes and use a well-draining potting mix.

Plant the bulbs at the same depth as you would in the ground and water them well after planting. Keep the soil consistently moist throughout the growing season, and be prepared to water more frequently than if the daylilies were planted in the ground. Fertilize container-grown daylilies with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer according to package instructions. Place the container in a sunny location for the best results.
