Family

Liliaceae

Botanical Name

HEMEROCALLIS 'Canadian Goose'

Plant Common Name

Canadian Goose Daylily, Daylily

General Description

The daylily is by far one of the most popular sun-loving perennials available. It is most revered for its reliability, ease of growth and beauty. The late summer blooming ‘Canadian Goose’ offers very large blooms of crimson red. They are day-blooming and arise from tall clumps of green strap-like leaves that are go completely dormant in winter.

Daylilies are easy to grow if provided with full to partial sun, and average soil with good drainage. Their clumps spread over time and may need to be divided every three to four years. After plants bloom, it is wise to shear back their foliage to allow for a fresh flush of growth. Enjoy these tried and true ornamentals in mixed beds and borders, containers and large mass plantings.
