| Botanical Name | Hemerocallis 'Yangtze' |
| Description | 'Yangtze' is highly regarded in Southeast Texas for its vigorous growth and sun-fast, bright yellow flowers. While it is adaptable to many soil types and can handle the humidity of the Houston metro area, it performs best in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. It can tolerate heavier soils better than many perennials, but avoiding standing water is key to preventing crown rot during our wet winter months. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Part Shade (At least 6 hours of sun for best blooming) |
| Height x Width | 24-30 in. Tall x 18-24 in. Wide |
| Water | Average water needs; keep soil moist during peak summer heat to prolong blooming. |
| Zones | 4 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced garden fertilizer in early spring and again in mid-summer. |
| Pruning | Deadhead spent blooms to encourage more flowers; remove dead foliage in late winter. |
| Deer Resistance | Low (Deer frequently graze on flower buds) |
