In the garden
Hemerocallis 'Papa Goose Gets Jiggy' is a cultivated selection within the genus Hemerocallis, belonging to the Asphodelaceae. As a named cultivar it is sold for its summer display; plan for its main flowering period from June to August. Where it comes from and its breeder are details supplied by growers and nurseries, so consult the plant tag when provenance matters. When placing this Hemerocallis, follow the supplier’s site and soil notes. Allow space for root development and avoid compacted soil around the crown; a well-prepared planting hole that encourages root spread will help the plant establish. Keep weed competition down in the first seasons so available moisture and nutrients go to the developing root system. If flowering reduces with time, consider lifting and dividing crowded clumps in line with the nursery’s guidance. Use the cultivar in groups for a predictable summer run of flowers or combine with other summer-flowering perennials to extend colour through July and August. For maintenance, retain any specific instructions from the nursery regarding feeding or staking. Expect its primary flowering window to be June to August.
