I love Orchid Corsage, it is on top of my list of must have Daylilies. I love the form. I am not a fan of round ruffled type daylilies. The shape of ones like Orchid Corsage are my favorite. I originally got 2 fans in 2010. Mine is in sandy soil that I added a layer of compost to and worked in. It gets sun from about 9 am until about 4:30 pm and performs perfectly. I don't think it has ever flopped over. I don't use a lot of fertilizer. I did put some Flower Tone down in that whole bed once last year but that was the first time since the original amendment of the bed. This year I tried putting down Oscomote. I am really bad about getting fertilizer down at the proper time so I figure this way they would get a slow steady supply. It typically starts blooming the the first week of August here. I have some pictures from last year.
