Everything's rosy all summer with these vibrant blooms! The Rosy Returns Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Rosy Returns') is a dwarf variety that has large 4-inch bright rose-colored flowers with a dark pink eye and yellow throat!
Standing tall over its dwarf mound of green foliage, Rosy Returns shines! More than making up for its size with its sheer color and repeat blooms! Pollinators and curious hummingbirds arrive to sip nectar as each new bloom arrives each day, filled with fresh treats for your butterflies!
Reblooming Rosy Returns will bloom from June until frost and cold-hardy all the way to zone 2. It can survive harsh conditions that many other plants cannot and prefers full sun for the best performance. Daylilies are some of the easiest perennials to grow and are a good choice for any gardener!
Planting and Application:
Use Rosy Returns as lovely fringe for your Rock Gardens edging, in borders, and as front-of-the-border garden ornaments that perfume the garden without taking up any room! Perfectly sized for smaller urban gardens and courtyards in the sun!
The smaller compact size is ideal for use in mixed containers and patio planters, porch pots and window boxes will light up with these blushing beauties! On the flip side, using this bright perennial and its repeat blooms are just as ideal for use en masse on slopes, in rows, and in groupings to maximize their color!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Daylilies are rugged, adaptable, vigorous perennials that endure in a garden for many years with little or no care. Rosy Returns does best in full sun, and adapts to a wide range of soil and moisture conditions. It establishes quickly, grows vigorously, and survives winters with little or no injury! Add a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch over the soil surface for best results! Provide moderate moisture throughout the growing season, but once Daylilies are established, they can tolerate drought and occasionally soggy conditions.
Deadhead to encourage a rebloom that lasts for weeks during the summer until the fall. Once the foliage dies back to the ground in the autumn, trim back the leaves and top with compost or refresh the mulch for the winter. Divide plants every few years to keep the clump size healthy and stress-free.
- Maintenance Free in Full Sun
- Adaptable in Any Well-Drained Soil
- Moderate Moisture - Low Once Established
- Prune Late Fall, Deadhead Regularly & Divide Every 3-5 Years
- Seldom Bothered By Deer, Rabbits, Salt & Pests
This charming and clumping flowering perennial is a beautiful Daylily that is short, but has the perfect size of flowers for its height! Order the Rosy Returns Daylily from Nature Hills to add its rosy cheer to your garden and planters this year!
