Hemerocallis ‘Fairy Tale Pink’ (Reblooming Daylily)

One of the most ravishing pink daylilies, Hemerocallis ‘Fairy Tale Pink’ is an elegant midseason Daylily that produces an abundance of large, soft orchid pink flowers, 5.5 in. wide (13 cm), with a lime-green throat. Round, the petals enjoy attractive wavy ruffled edges. Each flower typically lasts no more than 24 hours (thus the common name ‘Daylily’), opening up in the morning and withering during the forthcoming night, possibly replaced by another one on the same scape (flower stalk) the next day. Blooming in mid to late summer, this diploid Daylily is semi-evergreen, enjoys a good reblooming performance, and is the winner of numerous awards.

• Grows up to 24 in. tall (60 cm) and spreads slowly via rhizomes to 24-36 in. (60-90 cm).
• An ideal choice for shrub borders or perennial beds, as ground covers on slopes or in containers near the patio.
• Thrives in full sun to part sun in average, moist, but well-drained soils. While it performs well in a wide range of soils, fertile loam is preferred. Tolerates heat and summer humidity, but thorough watering is required to ensure its foliage remains attractive.
• Often called the ‘perfect perennial‘ because of its numerous qualities: showy flowers, drought tolerance, heat stress immunity, ability to grow in most hardiness zones, and low care requirements, this Daylily is a remarkable and stunning addition to the garden.
• Daylilies attract butterflies and hummingbirds but are toxic to cats. Rabbits tend to avoid daylilies.
• No serious pest or disease issues. Keep an eye out for mites, aphids, thrips, or daylily rust.
• The best time to plant Daylilies is in early fall or early spring.
• After flowering, remove spent blooms and seedpods to improve the appearance and encourage rebloom. When all the flowers on a scape are finished, cut off the scape close to ground level. Remove dead foliage from daylilies as they die back in the fall.
• Bred by Pierce-C. in 1980, it won prestigious awards including the Stout Silver Medal – daylily’s highest award
