Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell' | Daylily

The charming Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell', commonly known as the daylily, is a captivating addition to any garden with its fiery red blooms that grace the landscape in late summer. This variety is a hardy perennial and boasts a clump-forming growth habit that looks spectacular when planted in borders, as part of a group, or even as a stand-alone specimen.

Key Features

The Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell' reaches an ultimate height of approximately 80 cm, making it an ideal choice for adding structure and height to garden designs.
Its foliage remains a lush green throughout the spring, summer, and autumn months, providing a constant backdrop for other seasonal blooms.
This daylily thrives in a variety of soil types, provided they are well-drained, and can be placed in full sun to partial shade.
The plant does not bear fruit, which ensures that its energy is devoted to producing vibrant red and orange flowers during its blooming period.

Tips

To ensure the health and vigour of Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell', consider dividing the plant every few years. This process rejuvenates the plant and promotes more abundant blooms.
Regular watering is key, especially during dry periods, as the daylily does not possess significant drought resistance. However, be careful not to overwater, as this may lead to poor plant health.
While the daylily is not evergreen, its deciduous nature contributes to the natural cycle of the garden, with its foliage dying back in winter to re-emerge fresh and vibrant in spring.

Ideal placement of a Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell'

This cultivar thrives best when situated in a location that receives full sun to partial shade. While it can tolerate a range of soil types, ensuring the soil is well-drained will promote optimal health and flowering. The luscious red and orange blooms of Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell' are most vibrant and abundant when the plant is exposed to ample sunlight, although it will still perform well with some afternoon shade. The balance of light is crucial for this species to reach its full height of 80 cm and exhibit its characteristic clump-forming growth habit.

How do I plant a Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell'?

Plant Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell' in a location that receives full sun to partial shade to ensure vigorous growth and optimal flowering. These daylilies thrive in virtually all soil types, provided they are well-drained. When planting, allow ample space for the clumps to expand and facilitate air circulation. Initially, maintain consistent moisture levels to encourage establishment. As a deciduous perennial, this cultivar will die back in winter before re-emerging in spring. For best results, plant in the cooler months of spring or autumn to allow the root system to develop before the peak growing season.

Pruning a Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell'

Pruning Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell' is a straightforward process. After blooming, remove spent flower stems to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage potential reblooms. In late autumn, as the foliage begins to yellow, cut back the leaves to just above the ground level, preparing the plant for its winter dormancy. This clump-forming perennial will benefit from division every three to five years to promote vigorous growth and flowering. Carry out division by carefully separating the root ball and replanting the divisions.

Watering a Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell'

Ensuring adequate moisture is crucial for the Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell', which thrives in a well-hydrated environment. While it has an average water need, consistent watering is particularly vital during its peak blooming months of August and September. It is important to maintain an evenly moist soil, which will support its lush green foliage and vibrant red blossoms. In the absence of sufficient rainfall, supplemental watering should be considered to prevent stress, particularly in sunny locations. However, avoid overwatering and ensure the soil is well-drained to prevent waterlogging, which could be detrimental to the plant's health.

Fertilising a Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell'

For optimal growth and flowering, fertilizing is a crucial aspect of caring for Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell'. A balanced, slow-release fertilizer should be applied in early spring to support the initial growth spurt. Another application can be made after the first flush of flowers have faded, usually by midsummer, to promote further blooming and robust foliage. It is important to ensure the fertilizer is spread evenly around the base of the clump, avoiding direct contact with the foliage to prevent burn. Watering after fertilizing helps to distribute the nutrients into the soil, allowing the roots to absorb them effectively. This regimen will contribute to the vibrant red and orange blooms that emerge in the late summer months, while maintaining the lush green appearance of the foliage throughout the growing season.

The characteristics of a Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell'

Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell' is renowned for its resilience and adaptability to various soil conditions, making it an excellent choice for gardeners of all experience levels. This daylily thrives with minimal attention, yet rewards generously with vibrant blooms. Each flower, a striking display, lasts only a day, with new blossoms unfurling to take their place, ensuring a dynamic and ever-changing display throughout its blooming season.

Separating/dividing a Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell'

To ensure the Hemerocallis 'Sammy Russell' continues to thrive, division is recommended every three to four years. This method rejuvenates the clumps and stimulates robust flowering. During this procedure, the entire clump should be gently lifted from the ground. Once removed, the clumps can be carefully separated into smaller sections, making sure each has a portion of the root system attached. Replanting these divisions promptly in well-drained soil will result in a healthier, more vigorous display of its striking red and orange blooms. The optimal times for this task are the cooler months of spring or autumn.
