#ProPlantTips for Care

The D' Oro series can survive harsh conditions that many other plants cannot. They require little maintenance throughout the year to keep performing their best. The plant prefers full sun with at least 8 hours of direct sunlight for the best performance. It might appreciate partial shade in the afternoon in the hottest summers.

Purple D' Oro is very tolerant of extreme heat and humidity. Just provide extra water when unexpected heat spikes occur. Mulch them in the hotter climates to cut down on evaporation and keep roots cool.

They will grow in almost any well-drained soil. They are adaptable and durable once established in your soil. After the first few seasons, they'll be able to handle limited exposure to drought, and even survive periodically wet soil conditions, if the drainage is good.

Spent blooms can be removed during the summer to keep the plants reblooming. In colder hardiness zones 4-8, the foliage of the semi evergreen Daylily may die back to the roots for winter and regrow from the crown in the spring.

For a low-maintenance, colorful garden, you can't go wrong with a D' Oro. Order your healthy Purple D' Oro Daylilies from LetsPlantify.com today!
