Ideal temperature for daylily 'chorus line'
Aim for 5-35°C (41-95°F) on the thermostat and you've handled the easy part. The hard part is the half-metre around the plant: window glass that drops to near-freezing on a January night, a radiator pumping out hot dry air, a draught from an opened front door. Move the plant 30 cm and you've usually fixed the problem. Below roughly 5°C growth pauses; cold beyond that pushes it into dormancy rather than killing it outright.
Cold tolerance & winter care
Daylily 'Chorus Line' is comparatively hardy (USDA 3-9, RHS H6). Within that range it tolerates a cold dormant spell outdoors; outside it, grow it in a container you can move under cover or overwinter in a cool but frost-free spot. Hardiness assumes an established plant in well-drained soil — a wet, cold root zone kills far more plants than cold air alone.
Humidity for daylily 'chorus line'
Daylily 'Chorus Line' sits happiest at around 40-65% relative humidity. Performs well in average garden humidity. In very humid environments, ensure spacing of at least 40 cm to allow air movement and reduce the incidence of botrytis during cool, damp autumn rebloom periods. The usual low-humidity tell is crisp brown leaf tips and edges while the soil moisture is fine — a sign the air, not the watering, is the problem. If you need to raise it, the reliable methods are grouping plants together, standing the pot on a tray of damp pebbles (the pot above the waterline, never in it), or running a small humidifier in winter when indoor heating dries the air most. Misting is the least effective — it raises humidity for minutes, not hours.
Daylily 'Chorus Line' temperature & humidity — frequently asked questions
What temperature is best for daylily 'chorus line'?
Daylily 'Chorus Line' grows best between 5-35°C (41-95°F). Keep it out of cold draughts, off freezing windowsills in winter, and away from the hot dry air directly above radiators — the extremes matter far more than the average room temperature.
How cold can daylily 'chorus line' tolerate?
Daylily 'Chorus Line' starts to suffer below roughly 5°C. It tolerates a cold dormant period within USDA 3-9, but a wet cold root zone is more dangerous than cold air.
What humidity does daylily 'chorus line' need?
Daylily 'Chorus Line' prefers about 40-65% relative humidity. Performs well in average garden humidity. In very humid environments, ensure spacing of at least 40 cm to allow air movement and reduce the incidence of botrytis during cool, damp autumn rebloom periods.
How do I raise humidity for daylily 'chorus line'?
Group it with other plants, stand the pot on a tray of damp pebbles (kept above the waterline), or run a small humidifier in winter. Misting only helps for a few minutes, so it is the weakest option for a plant that genuinely needs more humidity.
Can daylily 'chorus line' live outside?
Daylily 'Chorus Line' is rated for USDA zone 3-9 and RHS hardiness H6. Within that range it can stay outdoors; outside it, grow it in a moveable container and protect the roots from a wet, cold winter.
