The foliage has shades of green, to be highlighted among different textures. The usual flowering period is in July. Its size of 75 cm by 60 cm reserves it a place in the middle of flowerbeds and group plantings, without forgetting the space for neighboring plants.

Support the rooting of Daylily 'Chicago Apache' with deep watering, then check the moisture before watering again. Adjust the frequency to rain and heat; avoid small daily waterings on already moist soil. A margin corresponding to its spread of 60 cm avoids having to move the clump in the first seasons. The indicated hardiness level is zone 3, to be assessed according to your garden conditions.
In a planting of Daylily 'Chicago Apache', remove spent flowers for a tidy clump and let the green leaves replenish reserves after flowering. Each daylily flower is short-lived, but the buds follow one another; consistent watering helps the plant during their development. For associations, consider perennial geraniums, campanulas, echinaceas in varieties with similar needs. Keep its 75 cm height in mind to place lower plants on the right side and leave the flowers visible during July. This plant is toxic to cats; choose a location out of their reach.
