Unpack bare roots or rhizomes on arrival and plant them within a week. Until then, keep them somewhere cool and ensure the roots remain slightly moist, never wet.
Hemerocallis 'Daria' is another of those daylilies that needs to be seen close-up, and you’ll be amazed at what you’re seeing! In midsummer, each large flower, stretching as much as 17cm in diameter, has a base colour of dusky maroon, with a lighter stripe down the centre of the petal. There is also a dramatic ruffled golden edge to each petal of 'Daria', while the centre of the flower (the throat) is a gorgeous golden yellow. It is a beauty!
Even better, Hemerocallis 'Daria' often sends out a second flush of bloom towards the end of the summer. At 55cm or more in height when in bloom, it is suitable for the front of a border, or a patio container. All of this means it is the perfect subject for the smaller spaced gardens, where it appears in complete proportion. First released to the gardening public 13 years ago, Hemerocallis 'Daria' has proved to be a constant winner.

Remove the packaging straight away, check the compost and water thoroughly if dry. Check the plant’s hardiness before placing it outdoors. Plant into a border or permanent container within a month, choosing the position recommended for the variety. Keep the top of the root ball level with the surrounding soil, firm gently and water well.
Soak the roots in water for three to six hours immediately before planting. Keep any crown, buds or emerging shoots above the water where possible.
Pot most bare roots into 15–20cm pots filled with peat-free multipurpose compost. Large or depth-sensitive roots, including peonies, are often best planted directly into borders.
Arrange the roots naturally without bending them. Cover the roots completely, positioning the crown and buds at the depth recommended for that particular perennial.
Keep pots in a sheltered outdoor position and water whenever the compost begins to dry. Grow on until roots hold the compost together when lifted from the pot.
Plant into a suitable border or permanent container once well rooted. Add a label and water regularly throughout the first growing season while the perennial establishes.
