Coronilla coronata is a species of perennial herb in the family Fabaceae. They have a self-supporting growth form. They have compound, broad leaves. Individuals can grow to 0.4 m.
Water regularly in the first growing season. Moving forward, only water if the weather is very dry. A light layer of straw mulch is recommended over winter, but do not cover the crown of the plant.
This perennial thrives in full sun. Ensure that it receives six or more hours of sun each day. In very hot climates, provide some afternoon shade, knowing that the plant will likely produce fewer flowers.
Apply an extended-release fertilizer to re-blooming daylilies such as Flower Power varieties and others listed below. Doing this in spring will encourage the plants to repeat their flowering cycle throughout summer and perhaps fall.
Daylilies adapt to a wide range of soils from light sand to heavy clay. Still, they prefer deep fertile loamy soil. If your soil is sandy, that means it will likely dry out easily. Add some compost to encourage moderate moisture retention. If your soil has a lot of clay, mix in some compost, peat or leaf mold, all of which provide nutrients and acids for the daylily's preferred slightly acidic soil pH.
Remove any yellowing leaves throughout the growing season. Doing so will welcome the plant to produce new leaves. If desired, remove spent blooms too. Gently twist the wilted bloom between your finger and thumb.
In a report on the variety Hemerocallis altissima, Plants For A Future cites: "large quantities of the leaves are said to be hallucinogenic [and] blanching the leaves removes this hallucinatory component."
