Hemerocallis 'Tiger Swirl' (Daylily)
Daylily 'Tiger Swirl', Day Lily 'Tiger Swirl', 'Tiger Swirl' Daylily, Midseason Daylilies
Noted for its uniquely shaped petals, Hemerocallis 'Tiger Swirl' is a midseason Daylily with masses of very large, fragrant, pale golden yellow flowers adorned with a conspicuous raspberry-red eye. Its bottom sepals are smooth, often twisting or curling into a “swirling” motion. Each flower, up to 7 in. wide (18 cm), typically lasts no more than 24 hours (thus the common name 'Daylily'). The flower scapes have well-branched, 3-way scapes and near 12 buds per scape, packing quite a punch with its flower performance. Blooming in midsummer, this tetraploid Daylily is dormant (deciduous).
- Grows up to 32 in. tall (80 cm) and spreads via rhizomes to 18-24 in. (45-60 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 Rasmussen in 2000, it has won the Honorable Mention Award of the American Hemerocallis Society in 2008.
