Daylilies are flowering queens for one day. Each bloom lasts a day but there is no need to worry – every stem bears more blooms and as the plants grow older they have numerous stems each. This low-maintenance perennial is a miracle for those who have limited time to spend looking after their gardens because apart from occasional watering on hot and dry summer day it needs ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. And still it can leave us gazing at their beautiful, lily-like blooms of every possible colour you can think of (except for blue and black).
Description of the plant:
Lavender Lily is an old daylily variety from 1962. It differs from the many modern hybrids in foliage that is very narrow, almost grassy and makes a fluffy clump. The flowers are large, pale purple-pink colour with some lavender hues and bright yellow throat. They appear on slender stems from about mid July until mid August.Apart from occasional slug attack there are no pests or diseases they would suffer from. Put your daylily on a sunny spot and fertilize it for better flowering every spring, if you want to. It tolerates all types of soil, preferably it likes moist soil. Extremely hardy to about -40°C (USDA zone 3).
