Middendorff's daylily is a hardy perennial that thrives in partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil. Plant it in a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, and divide clumps every 3-4 years to maintain vigor. In Japan this variety is traditionally used as an edible vegetable, with young shoots harvested in spring.
