Hemerocallis 'Ming Toy' (Reblooming Daylily)
Daylily 'Ming Toy', Day Lily 'Ming Toy', 'Ming Toy' Daylily, Early Season Daylilies
Hemerocallis 'Ming Toy' is a cheerful early season Daylily which features a profusion of velvety orange-red flowers adorned with a golden yellow throat. The flowers last 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 waves from early summer to frost, this diploid Daylily is evergreen.
- This clump-forming perennial grows up to 24 in. tall (60 cm) and spreads slowly via rhizomes to 18 in. (45 cm).
- Ideal choice for shrub borders or perennial beds, as ground covers on slopes or in containers near the patio.
- Thriving in full sun or part sun in average, moist, well-drained soils, this Daylily is relatively pest free. 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.
- The best time to plant Daylilies is during the early fall or early spring.
- After flowering, remove spent blooms and seedpods to improve 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 Wheeler in 1947
