Product Description
Hemerocallis 'Monterrey Jack' (25) Bare Root Plants
Common Name: Daylily
There’s certainly nothing “cheesy” about this daylily, though the light-yellow flower color may remind you of Monterrey Jack cheese. A well-defined, raspberry red eye and lighter midribs really stand out on the glimmering diamond dusted flowers. Their broad, rounded petals open wide and flat to 5½" across, making them appear even larger. Each exquisitely ruffled flower is of perfect form and they are displayed nicely on the candelabra-branched scapes.
- This daylily is a strong grower that blooms early in the daylily season. Early Bloomer.
- Dormant foliage.
- Tetraploid with 44 chromosomes.
Daylilies are some of the easiest perennials to grow and are a good choice for any gardener, from the beginner to the professional. These are tough, adaptable plants that will grow in any soil, from normal to slightly wet to dry. Older varieties are able to bloom if planted in partial shade, but most of the newer introductions need full sun for best performance. Likewise, older varieties tend to spread more rapidly than the newer hybrids.
All varieties can be divided every 3-4 years by digging up the entire clump and dividing it into smaller pieces with a minimum of 3 eyes each. This can be done in either spring or fall. Plants should be deadheaded for cosmetic purposes, but in most cases this will not extend the bloom time.
