Ideal temperature for daylily 'pan for gold'
Daylily 'Pan for Gold' is comfortable in any room a person is comfortable in, roughly 5-35°C (40-95°F). The mistakes are micro-climates: a north-facing window on a frosty night, a south-facing windowsill in a summer heatwave, the standing draught between an opened kitchen door and the radiator behind it. Read the room around the plant, not the thermostat. Below roughly 5°C growth pauses; cold beyond that pushes it into dormancy rather than killing it outright.
Cold tolerance & winter care
Daylily 'Pan for Gold' 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 'pan for gold'
Daylily 'Pan for Gold' sits happiest at around 40-70% relative humidity. Tolerates average garden humidity. Space plants at least 50 cm apart to allow sufficient airflow and minimise the risk of leaf streak and other fungal diseases during warm, humid 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.
