Suggested planting locations and garden types
- City and courtyard gardens
- Cottage and informal garden
- Prairie planting
- Flower borders and beds
Pruning
Cut back flower stems after flowering has finished. Remove dead foliage as required
Pests
May be susceptible to aphids, slugs, snails, glasshouse red spider mite and thrips. This late-flowering cultivar is less susceptible to Hemerocallis gall midge
Diseases
Usually tough and reliable but may be affected by fungal leaf spot and rust diseases or bacterial leaf and stem rot
