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:
Sink Into Your Eyes is a tetraploid daylily (with 4 sets of chromosomes: total 44 in each cell) bred and introduced by Ludlow Lambertson in 2003. The flowers are 14 cm across, and combine pale beige to soft orange and even light pink hues. There is a violet red eye around the yellow-green throat and at the heavily frilled margins which are also decorated with a gold braid. They come out from late June and may rebloom in August. Stems are 50-60 cm tall and leaves are semi-evergreen.Dailily 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 daylilies in 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. Very hardy to min. -40°C (USDA zone 3).
