Daylily Amethyst Kiss

Daylily Hemerocallis Amethyst Kiss delivers a clear lavender tone with a bold purple eye and bright yellow throat. A neat, evergreen clump stays tidy and resilient. Sturdy scapes to about 80 cm carry broad, roughly 16 cm blooms. As a tetraploid with a notably high bud count (around 250), it flowers generously through summer. Ideal for borders, path edges and statement containers, where its luminous color and clean form create an elegant focal point.

How to grow daylilies

Reserve full sunlight or light shade area in your garden to plant daylilies. Daylilies like sunshine so much but be careful, in hot areas, they do not grow well in completely dry soil on sunny place. Daylilies also like an average amount of moisture in the soil but will not be happy in soils that are water logged. Give them water regularly during their first one or two growing seasons. Their flowers will be larger and will bloom richer if regularly watered in the first part of the season.

When in bloom, feel free to cut the flowers for bouquets or even decorating of salads (as the flowers are edible). This will not injure your plants. While each flower blooms only a single day, choose stems with several larger buds.

After blooming has finished, leave the foliage in place, don't cut it off. The leaves will gather sunlight and will provide nourishment for the next year's show. Your daylilies will need rest for a few months, before beginning the next growing season.
