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:
Sixth Sense is a modern daylily bred for its attractive flowers and ability to re-bloom in late summer. From mid July it produces large, open flowers of beige to pale yellow colour, with soft crimson red eye. The main 3 petals have frilled margins, decorated crimson red, too. Strong and older plants re-bloom in August. Sturdy stems are about 60 cm tall. 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 -40°C (USDA zone 3).
