Hemerocallis 'Strawberry Candy'
Guaranteed to arrive healthy. details →
Strawberry-pink flowers with a bright raspberry-red eye open on this daylily in summer, and it reblooms later in the season. Hemerocallis 'Strawberry Candy' grows 26 inches tall in bloom and 18 to 24 inches wide in full sun to part sun, hardy from Zone 3 through Zone 9, and builds to full bloom by its second summer.
The 4½-inch flowers earned it the Stout Silver Medal in 1998. It is a semi-evergreen tetraploid.
Daylilies come from eastern Asia. Each flower lasts a single day, but the buds open in sequence along branched stems, so one plant stays in color for weeks. Thick, fleshy roots store water, which carries established plants through dry spells and lean soil. Bloom is heaviest in full sun; with four to six hours of sun they still flower, with fewer buds. Tetraploid varieties carry twice the chromosomes of diploids, which shows in heavier petals and sturdier stems. Dormant varieties die back to the ground in winter, while semi-evergreen and evergreen ones keep some foliage where winters are mild. Deer and rabbits eat the buds and young leaves.
