South Seas Daylily

Dreaming of tropical blue water and pink coral reefs? You'll get the same feel of an exotic staycation right at home with the gorgeous South Seas Daylily (Hemerocallis 'South Seas')! A new Designer Daylily™ with a totally unique coral pink color. This bright hue gets our attention every time we see it in the garden, and no Daylily quite compares to it!

The pinkish coral 5-inch fragrant flowers have a deeper red, coral band above a small yellow-green throat. Each heavily ruffled flower has a slight gold edge and light midrib and orange blush that becomes more prominent as the day progresses. Use these blooms for your pollinators seeking nectar, or to add luminous color to bouquets!

Rising above clumps of grassy green, slender foliage, the stems are full of buds that each taking turns opening to reveal a fresh new flower each day! The well-branched scapes on this Daylily are loaded with over 30 buds each for many weeks of enjoyment!

Considered a "Designer" Daylily because it has been selected as a highly performing plant with exceptional bloom performance, substantive, vibrantly colored flowers, complete winter hardiness in northern zones, and a vigorous habit. Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 3 to 9, South Seas handles heat and chill without any problems! That also goes for pollution, clay, Salt spray, Deer, and poor soil conditions too!

Planting and Application:

These showy blooms are fantastic specimens and garden accents! They'll brighten the garden border, highlight pathways and walkways, soften a rock wall or fenceline, and dress up a tired foundation or evergreen hedge! Grouping and creating rows (both straight and winding) will grace any perennial bed or hardscape with the arching foliage!

South Seas Daylily is as perfect for small gardens and containers around the pool or deck seating, as it is for mass planting and in en masse drifts! Either accent a small area or fill an entire hillside with these vibrantly hued blooms! The color will hold its own solo or turn heads either way!

Hardy enough to thrive in the pampered Cottage garden as well as the sunny Rock Garden, Daylilies look great in some seriously harsh conditions, and come highly recommended on Firewise landscaping plans and for Xeric gardens! Plant South Seas where other Perennials fail like the hell strip along the street or sidewalk, around the mailbox, or on hard-to-mow slopes and hillsides to slow erosion!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Blooming the very best in full sun, and appreciating a touch of afternoon/partial shade in hotter climates, easy-to-grow Daylilies thrive in almost any soil that is well-drained and enriched, but once established can handle occasional drought to wet soil conditions. Provide regular moisture when young and during the worst of drought for the prettiest foliage. Top dress with 3-4 inches of arborist mulch chips.

Deadhead to encourage rebloom, then trim the entire scape to the crown of the plant once all the buds are spent to clean up the mound. In late autumn after frost, remove all foliage to the ground and dispose of it away from the site to prevent rusts and diseases from overwintering. Divide in the early spring, about every 3-5 years to maintain vigor and flowering size.

• Tolerant of Full Sun & Afternoon Shade
• 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, Rust & Disease, Salt & Pests
