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:
Siloam Nugget is another daylily variety with purely one colour. This time it is golden yellow. The flowers open into a somewhat rounded shape, not typical for other daylilies which are more or less trumpet-shaped or bell-shaped. It flowers from end June until end July, older plants are strong enough to make more flowers for early August as well. Stems are strong, about 60 cm tall. It looks fantastic surrounded by dwarf violet or blue campanulas or dwarf lavenders. Unlike most other daylily hybrids this one is slightly and pleasantly fragrant.The leaves are deep green, strong and healthy. They appear early in the spring and persist until winter unlike spring bulbs whose leaves wither away after flowering. Apart from occasional slug attack there are no pests or diseases they would suffer from. Put your day lilies 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 -45°C (USDA zone 2).
