Hemerocallis (Daylily)
Rainbow Rhythm® 'King of the Ages'
If you're looking for a daylily that brings height to the garden, this is a top choice! In addition to tall scapes, 'King of the Ages' boasts incredible size with 6½ flowers. The petals are a unique blend of butter-yellow, peach, and apricot (officially, a polychrome). With its burgundy red eye and matching red picotee edge, this will definitely fill you with awe. 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). This is considered a premium daylily, which means that it has been selected as highly performing plant with exceptional bloom performance, substantive, vibrantly colored flowers, complete winter hardiness in northern zones, and a vigorous habit.
- » Easy-to-grow clumping perennial
- » Grass-like foliage
- » Blooms and reblooms
- » Ideal for mixed beds and borders
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. Plants should be deadheaded for cosmetic purposes, but in most cases this will not extend the bloom time.
