Hemerocallis 'Holiday Song'

Common Name: Daylily

This cheerful looking daylily fits neatly near the front to middle of the border as it stands just 22” tall in full bloom.

Officially classified as a pink-coral-red blend, the overall look of this daylily is coral-orange with a coordinating scarlet red eye and unusual orange colored throat. Pie crust ruffled, diamond dusted petals recurve to reveal the 4-5" flower’s rounded form.

Strong, branched scapes carry loads of buds in midsummer.

Dormant tetraploid.

Daylilies can survive many harsh conditions that other plants cannot including: polluted city environments, slopes, poor and dry soils, near pavement that is salted in winter, and under Black Walnut trees (not affected by juglone).

Daylilies are some of the easiest perennials to grow and are a good choice for any gardener, from the beginner to the professional. These are tough, adaptable plants that will grow in any soil, from normal to slightly wet to dry. Older varieties are able to bloom if planted in partial shade, but most of the newer introductions need full sun for best performance. Likewise, older varieties tend to spread more rapidly than the newer hybrids.

Daylilies can be divided every 3-4 years by digging up the entire clump and dividing it into smaller pieces with a minimum of 3 fans each. This can be done in either spring or fall. Plants can be deadheaded for cosmetic purposes, but in most cases this will not extend the bloom time.
