I’ve been purchasing bulbs from A.D.R. for many years. The quality is superior and the service fantastic. Chris and his family have always been prompt and accommodating. If you need it, Chris can find it! I wouldn’t shop anywhere else!

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Hemerocallis 'Gentle Shepherd' (Ships in Spring)

Planting: Plant in early spring or fall. Soak roots for 3–6 hours before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots, form a small mound in the center, and drape roots over it. Set the crown about 1 inch below soil level and backfill firmly. Space 18 to 24 inches apart.
Location: Full sun is best (6+ hours daily), though light shade is tolerated in hot climates.
Soil: Well-drained, moderately fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH (6.0–7.0). Enrich with compost if needed.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting. Keep soil evenly moist during establishment, then water during dry spells—daylilies are drought-tolerant once established.
Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 3–9. No winter protection needed in most climates.
Fertilization: Apply compost or a balanced fertilizer in spring and again after flowering. Avoid high-nitrogen formulas.
Pruning: Remove spent flower stalks and yellowing foliage. Cut back to the ground in late fall or early spring.
Propagation: Divide clumps every 3 to 5 years in spring or fall to rejuvenate and multiply.
Pest & Disease: Generally pest-free. Watch for aphids or rust in humid conditions—good air circulation helps.
