A striking display of color and vigor

When looking to add vibrant color and robust greenery to your garden, this standout Daylily offers details that set it apart. Large pink blooms with rosy centers and bright green throats create a bold focal point, while softly ruffled petal edges add extra texture and dimension. Unlike many traditional varieties, each flower stays open for up to 16 hours, giving you more time each day to enjoy its beauty. Blooming in mid-season and reblooming again in fall, it delivers an extended show of color just when other perennials begin to fade. Plus, its open blooms make it a pollinator- and bee-friendly addition to your landscape.

Beyond its striking appearance, this Daylily is prized for its exceptional resilience. It thrives on slopes where it can help reduce erosion, tolerates dry soil once established, and performs well in wet or heavy clay soils where other plants may struggle. Its ability to withstand pollution and salt exposure makes it especially well-suited for urban settings, roadside plantings, or coastal areas. Easy to grow and vigorous in habit, it’s a reliable choice for mass plantings, mixed borders, or anywhere you want long-lasting color with minimal maintenance.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight to keep the plant thriving. Dig a hole that is twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant in the hole, backfill with soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets.

2. Watering: Regular watering is crucial, especially during the first season to establish roots. Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. Once established, it can tolerate some drought but will appreciate occasional deep watering during dry spells.

3. Pruning: Prune back dead or spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and maintain a tidy appearance. In the fall, cut back the foliage to about 4-6 inches above the ground after the first frost for a clean look going into winter.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to promote healthy growth and flowering. Follow package instructions for application rates, adjusting as necessary according to soil conditions.
